A stone-laden dump truck overturned onto a tin-roofed house in Naldi Khalpara area of Lohagara, Narail, around 12:30 a.m. on Monday night, killing a 13-year-old girl and seriously injuring her 16-year-old sister. The victims, Mitu Khanom and Shamima Akter Setu, were daughters of Hafizar Molla and were asleep inside the house when the accident occurred.

According to local and police sources, the speeding truck lost control and toppled over beside the road, crushing the house. Locals rescued the two sisters and took them to Narail Sadar Hospital, where doctors declared Mitu dead. The truck driver and his assistant fled the scene immediately after the incident.

Lohagara Police Station’s officer-in-charge said police visited the site and that legal procedures would be completed before handing over the body to the family.
