A man was critically injured after being hit by a sand-laden truck in Kaliganj upazila of Gazipur, died after being taken to a hospital in Dhaka.
The accident occurred around 7:00 AM on Thursday (November 5) in the Boktarpur Market area of the upazila.
The deceased was identified as Masud Sarker, 45, from Fuldi Dakshinpara (Bangali's Tek) village under Boktarpur Union.
Witnesses said, Masud had left home for work in the morning and was sitting in front of Moktazul's shop at Boktarpur Market. At that time, a speeding sand-laden truck coming from the direction of Kaliganj lost control and hit him. The truck subsequently rammed into the shop.

After conducting an initial examination, doctors referred him to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), commonly known as Pangu Hospital, in Dhaka as his condition deteriorated. He died after being taken there.
Kaliganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sajjad Karim Khan said, "no written complaint had been filed with the police in connection with the incident so far. Legal action would be taken following an investigation if a complaint was received."
