Two people have died after a bus ploughed into two parked buses from behind in Dhaka’s Ashulia.
The incident occurred in front of Kabirpur Betar Centre on the Dhaka-Tangail Highway around 5:00am on Thursday, said Ashulia Police Station ASI Mohammad Rahat.
The casualties have been identified as Jahangir Alam, 32, and Abdul Jalil, 33, who were bus staffers of Ahad Paribahan, which operated on the route between North Bengal and Dhaka.
They died on the spot while two others were injured and sent to a hospital by fire service officials, bdnews24.com reports.
"An Ahad Paribahan bus from North Bengal broke down on Thursday morning in the Kabirpur area," said Jahangir Alam, senior station officer of DEPZ fire service.
"The bus staffers were trying to get the broken-down vehicle towed by another Ahad Paribahan bus when a speeding SR Plus Paribahan bus rammed into its back," added Jahangir.
