A couple was killed when their private car skidded off the Dhaka-Tangail highway and turned turtle near the east side toll plaza of Bangabandhu Bridge in Tangail early Saturday.
The victims were identified as Major (retd) Dewan Tareq bin Rashid, 50, the traffic and security in-charge of Metallurgical Construction Company of China (MCCC), a Chinese company assigned to collect toll and maintain the bridge, and his wife Farhana Moonmoon, 36.
The couple who were from Moulvibazar district used to live at a quarter of the company situated at the east side of the bridge, reports our Tangail correspondent.
The accident took place around 12:30am when Tareq along with his wife went for a drive and lost control over the steering of their private car on way to the quarter, said Tapash Chandra Pandit, officer-in-charge (OC) of Bangabandhu Bridge East Police Station.
Farhana died on the spot while Tareq succumbed to his injuries on way to Tangail General Hospital, the OC added.
The accident might have been taken place due to the technical problem of the car, the OC said quoting the officials of the company.
The couple went out for the drive leaving their eight-month-old daughter Ikra at home.
