Two Dead in Bus- Autorickshaw Collision in Gazipur
Two people were killed and two others injured in a tragic accident when a bus collided with a CNG-run autorickshaw in Gazipur on Monday morning.
The incident occurred around 10 a.m. in the Shibbari area of Gazipur city. While the identities of the victims are yet to be confirmed, authorities reported that a bus, believed to be operated by Gazipur Paribahan, was traveling at high speed towards Dhaka when it lost control and crashed into the autorickshaw. The force of the impact led to the instant death of two passengers.

The bodies of the deceased have been sent to the Gazipur Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital morgue for post-mortem, confirmed Sub-Inspector (SI) Swapna Akter of Joydebpur Police Station.
