Four people have died after a bus crashed into a stationary rickshaw van in Gazipur.
The incident took place on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway in Telipara around 8:30 am on Saturday, said Md Alamgir Hossain, deputy commissioner of Gazipur Metropolitan Police.
Police were able to identify three of the victims. They are 40-year-old Borhan, the van driver, 35-year-old Yunus, a fish trader, and 32-year-old Sohrab, a pedestrian.
The bodies have been sent to the morgue of Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital in Gazipur for autopsy, according to the police.
A Teknogpara-bound Basumati Paribahan bus slammed into a van carrying fish, which was parked on the side of the road, said Alamgir. Four people died on the spot.
The bus was seized and sent to a dumping ground, but the driver managed to flee, Alamgir added.
