Head-on collision in SE Bangladesh leaves at least 10 dead

Dhaka [Bangladesh], April 3: A head-on collision between a bus and a microbus killed 10 people in southeastern Bangladesh on Wednesday, a local police official said.
Arifur Rahman, a senior police official in Bangladesh's Chattogram district, told journalists that the deadly crash happened at around 7:15 a.m. in Chattogram district, some 242 km away from the capital Dhaka, when a bus collided with a microbus bound for Cox's Bazar.
According to the official, two other people were injured in the accident.
He said the ill-fated passengers were all relatives who were going to the seaside town of Cox's Bazar to enjoy the Eid holiday.
Apart from frequent accidents mainly caused by reckless driving, as in previous years, run-down roads in parts of the country became a grave concern for the Eid holiday travelers this year.
