10 killed in Nilphamari road crash

At least 10 people were killed and six injured as a bus collided head-on with a pickup van on the Saidpur bypass road of Dhaka-Dinajpur highway in Nilphamari district tonight.

Identities of the deceased who died on the spot and injured passengers were not known immediately, our Nilphamari correspondent reports quoting an upazila health official.

Death toll may rise, the official feared.

The Dhaka-bound night coach from Nilphamari collided head-on with a Nilphamari-bound pickup van at Dhalagachh intersection of the bypass road around 10:15pm, said Dr Sirajul Islam, upazila health and family planning officer.
