Another man injured in the bus-train collision at a level-crossing near Narayanganj railway station died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on Monday morning, raising the death toll from the accident to four.
The deceased was identified as Mezbah Uddin, 65, a cold storage employee and resident of Narayanganj port area.
His body was kept at the DMCH morgue for an autopsy, said Bacchu Mia, in-charge of the DMCH police outpost.
On Sunday, three people were killed, including a seven-year-old, and at least 20 others were injured when a train hit a bus of Ananda Poribahan, which was stuck at the level-crossing on Nawab Sirajuddaula Road near Narayanganj railway station.
The injured were first taken to Narayanganj General Hospital. Of them, three were sent to DMCH and six to National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation in a critical condition for advanced treatment.
Humayun, a shopkeeper in the area, said the rail gate could not be pulled down due to makeshift shops that have sprung up alongside the level-crossing.
