A fatal road accident occurred on the Padma Bridge early Tuesday, leaving one person dead and at least 20 others injured. The collision took place when a Dhaka-bound Basumati Paribahan bus was struck from behind by a Kuakata-bound Padma Special Paribahan bus traveling at high speed. The deceased was identified as Md. Tofayel Mia, 27, a bus helper from Madaripur’s Dakshin Para area.
According to police and eyewitnesses, the Basumati bus sustained severe damage, and several passengers were critically injured. Emergency responders transported the wounded to hospitals in Dhaka and nearby districts. Mohammad Shahe Alam, Officer-in-Charge of Padma South Police Station, confirmed that both vehicles involved were seized and legal procedures are underway.
Traffic on the bridge was temporarily halted following the crash but resumed shortly after authorities cleared the site. Officials said the overall law and order situation and vehicular movement on the Padma Bridge have since returned to normal.
