At least three people were killed and 11 others injured in a three-way collision involving a bus, an ambulance and a motorcycle on the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway in Feni early Sunday.

The accident occurred around 4:00am in the Rampur area, according to highway police.

Police said repair work was underway on one lane of the highway heading towards Chattogram. During that time, an ambulance was moving slowly through the area when a Shyamoli Paribahan bus hit it from behind.

Following the collision, an argument broke out between the bus and ambulance drivers, causing traffic congestion with a motorcycle and several vehicles piling up behind.

Moments later, a speeding bus of Doel Paribahan crashed into the traffic jam, triggering the deadly pile-up.

A motorcyclist, a bus supervisor and a passenger were killed in the accident, while 11 others sustained injuries.

Officer-in-Charge of Mohipal Highway Police Station, Asadul Islam, said the bodies have been kept at Feni General Hospital morgue, and the identities of the victims are yet to be confirmed.

Feni Civil Surgeon Dr Rubaiyat Bin Karim said the injured were taken to hospital in the early hours, where three were brought dead.

He added that three critically injured patients were referred to Chattogram Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment, one remains admitted, and seven others were given primary treatment and released.
