At least four people, including a couple, were dead and another was injured when a bus rammed into an auto-rickshaw in Gaibandha district today.
The deceased were identified as Shamim, his wife Shimu Sarkar and Shakil Mia while the identity of the other deceased could not be known immediately.
Officer-in-charge of Palashbari Police Station, Masud Rana, said the accident occurred around 7:30 am when a Gaibandha-bound bus hit the CNG-run auto-rickshaw due to poor visibility caused by fog. Three people were dead on spot and two, including the driver of the CNG, were injured.
The CNG driver died on the way to Rangpur Medical College and Hospital. The bus driver fled the scene.
