Two truck drivers were seriously injured in a head-on collision between two trucks on the Barishal-Dhaka highway at Rahmatpur Kathaltala area on Sunday morning. The accident occurred around 7 a.m. when a brick-laden truck heading toward Barishal collided with an empty truck coming from the opposite direction toward Dhaka after losing control. The front sections of both vehicles were severely damaged, and locals rushed to the scene to rescue the injured.

The injured drivers were taken to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital for treatment. One of the drivers was identified as Jahirul, while the identity of the other driver was not immediately known. The collision temporarily disrupted traffic on the highway, which later returned to normal after the damaged vehicles were removed with the help of locals and law enforcement.

Police officials confirmed that officers were dispatched to the scene promptly and that an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the accident.
