A survivor has shared a harrowing account of the moments immediately preceding a catastrophic road collision in Natore that claimed multiple lives and left others severely injured.

Five local traders had journeyed to Taherpur in Rajshahi to purchase various agricultural commodities, including corn, onions, garlic, turmeric, and coriander, in an effort to sustain their livelihoods and small business ventures.

After completing their purchases, the group loaded their goods onto a pickup truck and began their journey back home. However, the return trip turned tragic when their vehicle was involved in a violent head-on collision with a passenger bus in Natore.

One of the surviving passengers described the harrowing scene, explaining that the crash occurred in a flash without any immediate warning, leaving those inside the small truck with virtually no time to react or brace for impact.

According to the survivor’s account, the force of the collision severely crushed the pickup truck, causing immediate fatal injuries to several occupants while pinning others inside the twisted metal wreckage.

Emergency services and local residents rushed to the scene shortly after hearing the loud crash to initiate rescue operations, extricating the victims and transporting the injured to nearby medical facilities for urgent treatment.

Local authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash to determine the exact cause of the collision and assess road safety measures in the area.
