3 crushed to death in road accident
Three men were crushed to death in a road accident on Dhaka-Chattogram highway in Narayanganj's Kanchpur area yesterday.
The dead are Abu Bakkar Siddique, 20, of Narayanganj; Ohidul Mia, 32, of Rangpur; and Sajib Sarkar, 28, of Chandpur, said police.
Mohammad Moniruzzaman, officer-in-charge of Kanchpur Highway Police Station, said the trio was standing behind a Chattogram-bound Borak Paribahan's bus which was parked at Kanchpur intersection to board on passengers.
Around 10:00am, a speedy bus of Homna Super Services hit the parked bus from behind, leaving the three critically injured, he said.
Locals rescued the victims and rushed them to local hospital where they succumbed to their injuries around 12:00pm.
According to locals, both the buses were competing each other to rush fast with the aim to catch more passengers.
On information, police rushed to the spot and seized the two buses.
However, drivers and helpers of the buses fled the scene, said the OC.
