Three people, including a man and his young daughter, were killed and three others injured in a road accident on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway in Mirsarai upazila on Friday morning.
The deceased were identified as Mohammad Golam Sarwar, 40, his four-year-old daughter Muskan, and Sagor, 25, of Nikli upazila in Kishoreganj.
The injured are Sarwar’s wife Umme Salma, 32, their son Ahmed Imtiaz, 9, and driver Gias Uddin, 30. All the victims were residents of Uttara’s Sector 10 in Dhaka.
Police and locals said the Chattogram-bound private car from Dhaka lost control and rammed into a stationary covered van from behind at Thakur Dighi area of Jorarganj around 8 am.
