A ride-sharing motorcyclist named Abdul Hamid Khan, aged 45, was killed after being hit by a speeding pickup van while crossing the road near Gate No. 2 in Dhaka’s Hatirjheel area shortly after midnight on Sunday. Witnesses said Hamid, who lived in Tejgaon’s Kunipara and worked for ride-sharing apps, was returning home after parking his motorcycle when the vehicle struck him and fled the scene. He was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead at 12:50 a.m.
Police and local sources reported that the pickup van sped away immediately after the collision. They suspect the driver lost control due to excessive speed on the nearly empty road. The body has been sent to the hospital morgue for autopsy, and the concerned police station has been informed.
Following the incident, social media users renewed calls for safer roads, urging authorities to curb the reckless speed of cargo vehicles at night in the Hatirjheel area. Police have begun collecting CCTV footage to identify the fleeing pickup.
