Train-truck collision leaves 6 injured in city
A collision between a train and a cement-laden truck at Sayadabad level crossing in the city left six people injured last night.
Among the injured, a pedestrian, Mohammad Mohan, was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). His condition was stated to be critical. Mohan fell victim to the accident when he was returning to his home at Karatitola on foot.
Other injured people were admitted to nearby hospital and clinics.
Witnesses said the Kamalapur-bound train from Narayanganj hit the Jatrabari-bound truck at about 9:45pm, injuring its driver and helper. Four other pedestrians were injured as the truck hit them after it went into a skid.
Azizur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Jatrabari Police Station, said the collision took place as the bar of the level crossing was not put down to block traffic on the road.
