Two people were killed and seven others injured when a passenger bus turned turtle and fell into a roadside ditch in the Tetulia Bridge area on the Mongla-Khulna Highway in the district this afternoon.
The identities of the victims could not be confirmed immediately.
"The accident occurred when the passenger bus, coming from Mongla, collided head-on with a couple of motorcycles and flipped onto its side as it tried to stop.
