Six people were injured as a bus carrying 25 passengers plunged into a road-side canal at Ujanigaon-Nilpur area of Sunamganj Sadar upazila on Tuesday.
The accident took place around 11am on Tuesday when the driver of the bus lost control over the steering, said Mizanur Rahman, police super of Sunamganj.
