Two members of a family were killed and another was injured as a truck knocked them down in front of M Abdur Rahim Medical College Hospital in Dinajpur on early Saturday.

The deceased are Mohammad Ali, son of Makbul Hossain, and Azgar, brother-in-law of Mohammad Ali.

Md Zakaria, sub-inspector at Kotwali Police Station, said that the speeding truck hit the trio at the Khoarer intersection at about 5:00am when they were on their way to a relative’s house.

The crash left Mohammad Ali and Azgar dead on the spot, the officer said.

‘The injured, Makbul, another brother-in-law of Ali, is being treated at Abdur Rahim Medical College Hospital. His condition is critical,’ the police officer said.

‘Police have seized the truck. Efforts are on to nab its driver,’ he said.
