Two friends were killed on Sunday when their motorcycle collided head-on with a microbus on the Rangpur-Dinajpur Highway in the Thakurpara area of Paglapir in Rangpur.
The deceased were identified as Surjo Roy, 19, son of Lalmon Roy of Bachurbanda village under Ikorchali union in Taragonj upazila, and Gaddu Roy, 18, son of Podar Roy of Sholeyashah Lalchandpur village.
