Observer Online Report

A truck carrying drilling fluid for gas well operations overturned after being hit by a bus on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway in Mirsarai, Chattogram, on Saturday (November 14), leaving its driver trapped but causing no casualties.

The accident occurred around 10AM near Fardin Model Pump in Mastannagar, on the Dhaka-bound lane of the highway. The truck was carrying 20 sacks of chemical raw materials from Chattogram Port to Kailashtila in Sylhet when a CDM bus hit it while attempting to overtake another bus, according to the driver, Zahir Alam.

The truck lost control, climbed onto the road divider and overturned. Local people rescued the driver from the cabin. The accident scattered the chemical materials across the highway, disrupting traffic for nearly eight hours. The materials were later cleared with the help of locals and highway police.

The raw materials, valued at around Tk 20 lakh, were damaged in the accident. Officer-in-Charge of Jorarganj Highway Police Station Rakibul Hasan said police went to the scene after receiving information about the accident and confirmed that no casualties were reported.
