At least seven people were killed in a road accident in Bhanga upazila of Faridpur on Saturday evening. The incident occurred around 7 p.m. at the Shuyodi bus stand area on the Bhanga-Bhatiapara highway when a speeding passenger bus ran over several people. The victims included five local residents and the driver and helper of an egg-laden pickup van that had overturned earlier in the rain. Police confirmed that four people died on the spot and three more succumbed to injuries at Faridpur District Medical College Hospital.
According to local sources, the pickup lost control and overturned on the road, prompting nearby residents to rush to rescue the trapped driver and helper. During the rescue effort, a bus from Narail Express Paribahan hit those at the scene, causing multiple fatalities. The deceased were identified as Zainal, Arif, Setu, Nurun Nabi, and Shahidul, while the identities of the pickup driver and helper were not immediately known.
Following the accident, angry locals blocked the Bhanga-Bhatiapara highway, set fire to five buses, and vandalized several other vehicles, halting long-distance and local traffic until late evening.
