3 dead as bus crashes with truck in Munshiganj
Three people were dead and 12 were injured when a speeding bus crashed into a broken-down truck on Dhaka-Mawa Expressway at Ramerkhola early Wednesday.
One of the deceased was identified as Hasina Begum, 42, while identities of two other deceased could not be known immediately.
Kanchan Kumar, officer-in-charge of Hashra Highway Police, said the accident occurred around 4 am when the Dhaka-bound bus of ‘Labiba Paribahan’ from Kuakata hit a broken-down goods carrying truck from behind on the Dhaka-Mawa Expressway and overturned after hitting the railing — leaving three people dead on the spot and 12 injured.
The injured were taken to different hospitals in Dhaka.
Police seized the bus and the truck but drivers of both vehicles managed to flee the scene, reports UNB.
