On Sunday, a mishap occurred in tourist-spot Madhabpur along the Dhaka-Sylhet highway, where a furniture-laden pickup van lost control and plunged into a roadside ditch, killing four people, including a woman, on the spot.

Police and fire service personnel later recovered the bodies. Meanwhile, in Feni’s Rampur area, a three-faced collision involving a bus, an ambulance and a motorcycle left three people dead and five injured. 

Authorities say road construction had slowed traffic when a Shyamoli Paribahan bus struck a slow-moving ambulance, creating a pile-up. Shortly after, a speeding Doyel Paribahan bus crashed into the congestion, killing a motorcyclist, a bus supervisor, and a passenger.

In a separate incident, a tourist bus traveling from Dhaka to Bandarban fell into a gorge and veered off the road and fell into a ditch near Bandarban University, leaving 15 passengers injured.
