At least 10 people, including a three-year-old child, were injured when a speeding private car collided with two CNG-run auto-rickshaws, sending the vehicles into a roadside ditch in Hathazari upazila of Chattogram on Monday.
The accident occurred in the Charia area of the Hathazari-Nazirhat regional highway on Monday afternoon.
According to local sources, a private car (Chattogram Metro-Ga 13-9930), travelling from Fatikchhari towards Chattogram, collided with two auto-rickshaws coming from the opposite direction in the Charia area. Following the collision, both auto-rickshaws lost control and plunged into a roadside ditch, injuring their passengers.
Locals rescued the injured and took them to Hathazari Upazila Health Complex. After receiving initial treatment, four of them — Rahat, 20, Nadia, 3, Sadia, 11, and Rinku, 22 — were referred to Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) as their conditions were critical.
The other injured were identified as Sidratul Muntaha, 14, Shamima Akter, 34, Shahauddin, 51, Naim, 26, Badsha Saudagar, 76, and auto-rickshaw driver Faisal, 32. They received treatment at the health complex.
Sidratul Muntaha said they were returning to their home in Bhujpur under Fatikchhari after receiving eye treatment at CMCH with family members when the private car hit their auto-rickshaw in Charia, causing it to fall into the ditch.
Dr Afruza Khatun, an on-duty physician at Hathazari Upazila Health Complex, said those with serious injuries were given initial treatment before being referred to CMCH, while the others received necessary medical care.
