Multiple-vehicle collisions on Mawa expressway

Four separate accidents occurred within half an hour on the Dhaka-Mawa Expressway in Munshiganj's Srinagar upazila on Sunday morning, involving a collision of 10 vehicles.

One person was killed, and at least 15 others were injured.

The incidents took place between 8am and 8:30am, amid thick fog that disrupted visibility and slowed vehicle movement, highway police sources said.

One of the accidents occurred near the KC underpass when a truck heading towards Mawa broke down and was rear-ended by another truck. Moments later, a bus crashed into the stationary vehicles.

In another incident near the Nimtala Shikarpur underpass, a Sakura Paribahan bus hit a covered van. Several other vehicles, including a private car and a bus, then collided with each other in a chain reaction.

Farhad Hossain, a passenger, was critically injured and later declared dead at the Srinagar Upazila Health Complex. At least 15 others were injured across these incidents.

In Hasara near Nimtala, several rear-end collisions resulted in a truck losing control and hitting a road divider at Shologhar. All of the accidents took place on the highway's Mawa-bound lane. Fire service personnel and police promptly arrived at the scenes and took the injured to the hospital.
