Two people were killed and at least eight others injured after a bus hit two vehicles on the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway in Trishal Upazila of Mymensingh on Thursday morning.
The deceased were passengers of a CNG-run auto-rickshaw, but their identities could not be confirmed immediately.
Police and local residents said a Dhaka-bound United Paribahan bus first hit a stationary Mahindra vehicle in the Kazir Shimla area around 8:30am and then rammed into a passenger-carrying auto-rickshaw.
Both vehicles were badly damaged in the collision. The bus later lost control and overturned on the roadside, leaving at least 10 people injured.
Local residents rescued the injured and took them to Trishal Upazila Health Complex, where doctors declared two of them dead.
The injured were later shifted to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital for further treatment.
Trishal Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mansur Ahmed said police recovered the bodies from the scene.
He said police seized the bus, but its driver and helper fled after the accident.
