A serious accident was narrowly avoided earlier Monday when a bus overturned in South Surma Upazila of Sylhet district, with all 25 passengers escaping without major injuries.
The incident occurred around 5:30am in front of the APBn office 7 in the Lalabazar area on the Dhaka-Sylhet Highway. The Sylhet-bound bus from Dhaka lost control and fell into a pond, according to ASI Mohammad Pabel, media officer of APBn-7, reports UNB.
Soon after the accident, members of APBn-7 rushed to the spot and, with the help of the fire service, rescued all the passengers without any major injuries, said ASI Pabel.
All passengers received first aid at various hospitals before returning home, he added.
