Two people were killed and six others injured in a three-way collision involving two trucks and a bus on the Dhaka-Rangpur highway in Pirganj on Friday morning.
The accident occurred in front of the Pirganj filling station.
SM Mizanur Rahman, in charge of the Boro Darga Highway Police Outpost, stated that a Rangpur-bound truck struck another truck parked on a one-way section of the highway near the petrol pump.
