Three people were killed in two separate road accidents in Dinajpur district between late Monday night and Tuesday morning.
In the first incident, two motorcyclists died after being hit by a truck in Fulbari upazila.
The accident occurred around 6:30am on Tuesday at Dangapara in Razarampur, Shibnagar, along the Dinajpur-Gobindaganj regional highway.
