Two people including a woman were killed in separate accidents in Panchagarh on Friday.

A woman was crushed under a truck in Boda upazila around noon, while a carpenter died from electrocution while working at his home in Panchagarh Sadar upazila.

The deceased were identified as Julekha Begum, 55, wife of Abdur Quddus of Mahanpara in Boda Sadar Union, and Jahangir Alam, 40, son of Julhas Mia of Charmile Bodapara in Panchagarh Sadar.

According to police, Julekha was travelling in a battery-powered three-wheeler from Mareya Bazar towards Boalmari. When the vehicle reached the Baruni Kalibari area on the Mareya-Panchagarh road, a truck hit it, throwing her onto the road. She was crushed under the truck's wheels and died on the spot.

On information, fire service personnel and police recovered her body from the scene. The truck was seized after the accident, but its driver fled.

In the other incident, Jahangir suffered an electric shock while doing carpentry work at his home in Charmile Bodapara. Locals rescued him and took him to Panchagarh Sadar Hospital, where a doctor declared him dead.

Dr Sutapa Banik, a medical officer at Panchagarh Sadar Hospital, said Jahangir was brought to the hospital at around 12:45 PM on Friday, but he had died before arrival.

Panchagarh Sadar Police Station prepared an inquest report, completed the legal formalities and handed over the body to his family. An unnatural death case has been filed in connection with the incident, said Ashish Kumar Shil, inspector (investigation) of the police station.
