Four people, including three of a family, were spot dead after a lorry turned turtle and fell on a private car on Dhaka-Chattogram Highway in the Padua Bazar Bishwa Road area of Cumilla on Friday afternoon, said a release by the fire service.


The identities of the deceased could not be immediately known.

The accident left four people dead on the spot, he said, adding that the deceased were passengers of the private car, reports UNB. 

Two firefighting units from Chouyabazar fire station rushed to the spot for carrying out the rescue operation, he said.
