A 32-year-old youth was killed after his motorcycle was hit by a private car in the capital’s Vatara Madani Avenue area on Friday morning.
The deceased was identified as Sajjad Hossain Ratul. He lived with his wife in the Badda Beraid area and worked at a clothing store in Jamuna Future Park. Their family home is in the Mohakhali Madhyapara area of the capital.
The accident occurred around 10am on Friday while Ratul was riding his motorcycle to his shop from his residence. After the collision in the Vatara Madani Avenue area, he was left critically injured.
Passers-by rescued him and first rushed him to United Hospital. Later he was moved from there to National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) hospital.
As his condition deteriorated, he was subsequently transferred to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where doctors declared him dead at around 3:15pm after medical examinations.
Ratul’s sister, Shampa Akter, confirmed his residence and employment details.
DMCH Police Camp In-charge Inspector Md Faruk said the body has been kept at the hospital morgue for further procedures. He added that both the private car and its driver are currently in police custody, and Vatara Police Station is investigating the incident.
