Elderly couple killed in road crash in Narail
An elderly couple was killed in a head-on collision between a trolley and a battery-run rickshaw in the Khashial union of Narail’s Kalia upazila on Thursday.
The deceased were identified as Zafar Munshi, 70, and his wife Marzina Begum, 60, residents of Boro Kalia village in the upazila.
Ashiqur Rahman, officer-in-charge (OC) of Naragati Police Station, said the accident occurred around noon when a sand-laden trolley heading towards Kalia collided head-on with a passenger-carrying battery-run rickshaw coming from the opposite direction at Moulvibazar intersection in the Talbaria area.
“Both Zafar Munshi and Marzina Begum sustained critical injuries on the spot,” the OC said.
Locals rushed them to Kalia Upazila Health Complex, where on-duty doctors declared them dead upon arrival, reports UNB.
Sub-inspector Md Murad Hossain of Naragati Police Station said both the trolley and the battery-run rickshaw have been seized. “Legal procedures are underway in connection with the incident,” he added.
