The victim, identified as Poly Akhter, 21, used to work at a garment in the city's Dewanhat Ashkarabad area, sources said.

General Railway Police (GRP) sources said Chandpur-bound Sagarika Express smashed a CNG-run autorickshaw in which Poly was travelling in at around 9:30am. The autorickshaw was heading towards Eco Park.

Poly died on the spot while Jashim, the autorickshaw driver, sustained severe injuries.

Jashim was rushed to Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH).

On duty Havilder Mohammad Khaer of GRP said there was no rail gate at the point although a number of people usually cross it everyday on their way to the Eco Park area.
