Four people, including a school girl, were killed in three road accidents in the capital on Tuesday.
At Uttara, a ten-year-old girl Faija Tahsia Suchi, daughter of Daily Ittefaq’s assistant editor Faijul Islam, was killed while a microbus hit her on her way to school with her father around 7:00am.
Faijul rushed her to Bangladesh Medical College in the area where on-duty doctors declared her dead, said Turag Police Station officer-in-charge Nurul Muktakim.
Local people seized the microbus but the driver managed to flee the scene, he said.
At Baridhara, a Badda-bound bus of Dewan Paribahan veered off the road and got on the footpath of Baridhara’s Coca Cola bus stand, leaving two dead on the spot early on the day.
The deceased are tea vendor Shaheen, 42, and night guard Kabir Hossain, 45.
Local people and police seized the bus but its driver and his assistant managed to flee, said Bhatara Police Station inspector Shihab Uddin.
The bodies were sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for post-mortem examination, he said.
In another incident, an unidentified woman, 45, was injured in a road accident around 5:30am on the day at Mouchak.
Later, she was taken to DMCH by a pedestrian where she died under treatment around 7:00 am, said DMCH Police Outpost sub-inspector Bacchu Mia.
