Kid killed as train hits car
A chaild was killed and two others were critically injured as a train hit their car at an open rail crossing in Damurhuda upazila of Chuadanga yesterday.
The deceased was Rafiul Hossain, 4, grandson of Damurhuda BNP General Secretary Anwar Hossain Khokon.
Quoting locals, Enamul Haq, officer-in-charge of Damurhuda Police Station, said the accident took place at Beltola rail crossing where there is no gate or gateman.
When Khokon along with his daughter Marzana Hossain Anny, 28, and Rafiul was going to the capital in a private car around 10:15am, Dhaka-bound Chitra from Khulna hit the vehicle, leaving the kid dead on the spot and two others injured.
Critically injured Khokon and Anny were rushed to the upazila health complex and later shifted to Dhaka by a helicopter as their condition worsened, said the OC.
Altaf Hossain, a station officer of Chuadanga, said there is no gate or gateman as the level crossing is unauthorised.
