Collision between 3 vehicles kills 4 including woman, child in Jashore

Four people, including a woman and a child, were killed in a horrific three-vehicle collision on the Jashore -Khulna highway, while another person remains in critical condition at hospital.

The accident occurred around 11:30am on Saturday in front of Chaulia Filling Station in Sadar Upazila, involving a covered van, an easy-bike, and a locally made nasiman.

The deceased were identified as easy-bike driver Mohammad Ayub Ali, 43, son of late Hasan Ali Molla of Ghuni Purbopara area in Jashore Sadar; Brishti Saha, 24, wife of Sujon Saha of Ghoragacha Sahapara village; her four-year-old son Souvik Saha; and Anwar Ali, 70, son of late Kalu Sheikh of Chaulia village.

According to police and eyewitnesses, a speeding covered van travelling towards Jashore from Khulna collided head-on with an easy-bike and an engine running van coming from the opposite direction after reaching the Chaulia Filling Station area.

Easy-bike driver Ayub Ali and passenger Brishti Saha died on the spot after being crushed under the covered van.

Three critically injured victims were rushed to Jashore General Hospital, where Anwar Ali and child Souvik Saha later succumbed to their injuries while undergoing treatment.

The injured man, identified as Sajjad Hossain, 28, son of Moshiar Rahman of Mohanpur village in Manirampur upazila, is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital. Hospital authorities said his condition remains critical.

Jamal Hossain, son of deceased Anwar Ali, said his father was transporting passengers on the highway when the collision involving the covered van, easy-bike and engine running van occurred.

Following the accident, angry locals blocked the Jashore -Khulna highway for some time, disrupting traffic movement. Members of the army and police later reached the spot, brought the situation under control, and removed the damaged vehicles, restoring traffic flow on the highway.

Officer-in-Charge Md Masum Khan of Jashore Kotwali Police Station said that the covered van had been seized and its driver detained. The bodies were sent to the hospital morgue for autopsy, while preparations were underway to file a case over the incident.
