Feni train-truck collision death toll rises to six

Staff Reporter:

The death toll from a collision between a Chattogram-bound train and a sand-filled truck in Feni’s Chhagalnaiya has increased to six.

The accident took place on the rail crossing adjacent to Muhuriganj Bridge of the upazila on Friday morning.

During the incident, the gateman was absent from his duty and therefore there was no bar placed when the truck got onto the railway tracks at the level crossing between Fazilpur and Muhuriganj railway stations, according to locals.

Two were immediately rescued from the spot and taken to Feni General Hospital and others to Chittagong Medical College Hospital.

The deceased were identified as Md Mizan, 32, of Barishal’s Ujirpur upazila; Abul Khayer Miah, 40, and his son Ashiq, 14, of Cumilla’s Laksham upazila; and Dil Mohammad, 23; Rifat, 17; and Sazzad, 18, of Cumilla’s Chauddagram upazila, confirmed police.

Md Shah Alam, assistant sub-inspector of Feni Railway Police Camp said, Mizan was driving the truck and the other victims were railway passengers riding on the front side of the train.

Feni Railway Station Master Mohammad Harun said the Chattogram-bound mail train left Feni Railway Station around 8:05am and ten to fifteen minutes later the accident occurred.

The train left the station for Chattogram around 11:45am after it was repaired at Fazilpur station.
