In a tragic incident on the Dhaka-Sylhet Highway, seven people were killed and 13 others injured in a head-on collision between two passenger buses early this morning in Osmaninagar upazila, Sylhet district. The accident occurred at around 7:15 am in the Kashikapan area, approximately 22 kilometers from Sylhet city.
According to the Sherpur Highway Police Station Officer-in-Charge, Md Anisur Rahman, a Dhaka-bound Unique Paribahan bus from Sylhet collided head-on with a Bengal Paribahan bus traveling towards Sylhet from Dhaka. Both buses reportedly lost control while attempting to overtake, resulting in the collision. The impact caused the buses to veer off the highway and plunge into a roadside ditch.
Emergency services, including police and Fire Service personnel, recovered the bodies of seven passengers from the Unique Paribahan bus. Thirteen injured passengers were rescued and transported to Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College Hospital for medical treatment. The bodies of the deceased will be taken to the police station after completing the necessary legal procedures.
The identities of the deceased could not be confirmed immediately. The incident highlights the need for improved road safety measures and stricter enforcement of traffic laws in Bangladesh, a country frequently affected by road accidents due to various factors including poor road conditions, inadequate vehicle maintenance, and reckless driving.
