A covered van lost control and overturned on the western side of Shubulya Bridge in Mirzapur upazila of Tangail on Thursday morning, disrupting traffic on the Dhaka-Tangail highway. The accident occurred around 7:30 a.m. when a northbound vehicle from Sirajul Motors flipped across the road, damaging its front section and rupturing its fuel tank. Diesel began leaking onto the road, drawing crowds of locals who collected the fuel using buckets, plastic sheets, and other containers.
Witnesses said one local bus driver attempted to stop the leak by straightening the dented tank with an iron rod and applying soap, which partially succeeded. The incident caused temporary suspension of northbound traffic, and a two-kilometer-long traffic jam formed between Shubulya and Ichail. Police later removed the overturned van with a wrecker, restoring normal traffic flow. No casualties were reported, though the driver and his assistant fled the scene after the crash.
Authorities confirmed that the situation has since returned to normal following the removal of the vehicle from the highway.
