3 killed in Gazipur motorcycle accident

Three people, including a woman and a child, have been killed after their motorcycle was struck by an unidentified vehicle on the Shafipur Flyover in Kaliakair, Gazipur.

The accident occurred at around 2:30pm today (11 November).

Police could not immediately identify the victims or determine what the motorcycle had collided with.

Mohammad Manjur Morshed, officer-in-charge of Naojor Highway Police Station under Gazipur Highway Police Region, said that police went to the spot after receiving information about the accident.

They found the bodies of a man, a woman and a child lying on the flyover, apparently after being thrown off the motorcycle, he said.

The OC said that police had not found any eyewitnesses during their initial investigation.

There are also no CCTV cameras on the flyover, making it difficult to establish how the accident occurred.

Police recovered the bodies from the spot and were working to identify the victims and determine the cause of the accident, he added.
