Two people were killed and at least four others injured early Thursday when a passenger bus slammed into the rear of a heavy cargo truck on a critical stretch of regional highway in the Hafizia area of Feni district, Bangladesh. The collision occurred at approximately 6:30 a.m. local time, instantly halting traffic and drawing a rapid response from local police, fire units, and highway medics.
The morning mist still clung to the corrugated tin roofs of Hafizia when the screech of tearing metal and a sickening crunch shattered the quiet of a Feni dawn. At her roadside stall overlooking the Dhaka-Chittagong highway, tea vendor Anowara Begum froze, the clay cups in her hands suddenly still. Through the early haze, she watched a local bus carrying early commuters bound for factories and wholesale markets slam into the rear of a heavily loaded cargo truck. Within moments, the stretch of asphalt that usually hummed with rhythmic commerce was swallowed by sirens, flashing red lights, and desperate cries.
