At least four people have been killed and five, including an inspector of Highway Police, got injured in Chattogram's Mirsharai, in an interesting phase of collision between a covered van and auto rickshaw, reports UNB.
Mohammad Khairul Alam, officer-in-charge of Zorarganj Police Station said, "Wednesday's accident occurred at 10:45pm at Dakshin Sonapahar of Zorarganj as a covered van crashed into a CNG-run auto-rickshaw. The identity of the deceased isn’t confirmed immediately," told UNB.
Before that, there was a crash involving a Chattogram-bound bus and a Dhaka-bound lorry. Although there were no casualties, the drivers and passengers of the vehicles got into a heated debate.
A team of Highway Police went to the spot to calm things down. Also, four locals went to the scene on an auto-rickshaw. At this time, a covered van rammed into the vehicle and ran over five people and killed four on the spot, while Inspector Monir Hossain deeply injured.
"Locals rushed Monir to the hospital in a critical condition. He was later shifted to Chittagong Medical College Hospital as his condition worsened," Khairul said.
