A father and his son have died after a pickup truck collided head on with a CNG-powered autorickshaw in Mymensingh’s Sadar Upazila.
The accident took place around 9:30am on Saturday in the Alalpur area of the Mymensingh-Phulpur road, said Sub Inspector (SI) Farid Ahmed of the Kotwali Model Police Station.
The dead were identified as Jahangir Alam and his two-and-a-half-year-old son Rohan. They were passengers in the auto-rickshaw.
SI Farid said the autorickshaw was heading towards Phulpur with passengers. On the way, as it approached the Alalpur area on the Mymensingh-Phulpur road, the auto-rickshaw collided head-on with a pickup truck coming from the opposite direction, reports bdnews24.com.
“The father and son died on the spot.”
“We reached the spot and recovered the bodies when informed. We’re working to manage the traffic congestion on the road,” Farid said.
