Over 100 passengers were injured in a massive chain-reaction collision involving ten vehicles—including two cars from a local Member of Parliament's convoy—on the Dhaka-Barisal highway in Gopalganj's Muksudpur upazila.

The accident occurred around 10:30 AM on Friday (November 13) in the Baraitola bus stand area.

According to local sources, the pileup began with a head-on collision between a private car and a passenger bus, which triggered a succession of crashes involving multiple buses, trucks, private cars, and engine-driven easy-bikes. In total, four passenger buses, two private cars, two trucks, and two easy-bikes were severely damaged.

The incident temporarily halted traffic along the highway for about an hour before law enforcement intervened to restore normal movement.

MP unhurt, BNP leader among critically injured

Gopalganj-1 MP Selimuzzaman Selim was travelling from Dhaka to his constituency when his motorcade entered Muksudpur and became caught in the pileup. Two vehicles in his convoy sustained damage, though the lawmaker himself remained unhurt and safe.

However, local BNP leader Elias Kazi, hailing from Raghdi Union, sustained critical injuries in the crash and was immediately rushed to Dhaka for advanced medical treatment.

Muksudpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abdullah Al Mamun confirmed the incident, stating that 20 to 25 severely injured individuals were rescued and sent to hospitals in Faridpur and Bhanga, while vehicular traffic on the highway has since been normalised.
