Sylhet:A tragic accident occurred on the Sylhet-Tamabil highway in the Khadimnagar area of Sadar upazila, resulting in the death of a motorcyclist and serious injuries to another individual. The incident took place on Friday morning when a bus collided with the motorcycle.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the deceased has been identified as Mahmudul Hasan, 33, the son of Md Ibrahim Hossain from Ghorashal village in the Shahjadpur upazila of Sirajganj district. Witnesses and police reports indicate that Hasan had slowed down his motorcycle to let a woman cross the road when a bus headed towards Sylhet struck his bike, causing his death on the spot.
