A fatal multi-vehicle road traffic accident involving three motorcycles resulted in the deaths of two teenage students and left four others seriously injured in Bogra district. The head-on collision occurred at approximately 20:30 BST on Thursday, 28 May 2026, on the Sherpur–Kazipur regional highway, specifically within the Safaljani area of Shubhgacha union under Sherpur upazila.
Local authorities and medical personnel confirmed the identities of the deceased. Abu Raihan, aged 18, was the son of Harunur Rashid from the Ulipur locality of Sherpur town and an active student at the Bogra Polytechnic Institute. The second casualty was Tamim Hossain, also aged 18, the son of Nannu Mia—an expatriate worker—from Phultala village in the Sherua Bottola area of the upazila. Hossain was an eleventh-grade college student enrolled at Sherwood International School and College.
Mechanics of the Crash and Emergency Procedures
According to reports from two on-site eyewitnesses, the regional highway was unusually vacant of commercial vehicles and mass transport due to the ongoing national Eid-ul-Adha holiday. This lack of standard congestion prompted the riders to operate their vehicles at high velocities along the clear thoroughfare.
At 20:30 BST, two motorcycles travelling together from Dhunat towards Sherpur struck a third motorcycle advancing from the opposite direction in a high-speed, head-on impact. The force of the collision completely destroyed all three units. All six riders sustained severe trauma and were thrown onto the road surface. Local citizens and emergency services immediately initiated a rescue operation, evacuating all six casualties to the Sherpur Upazila Health Complex, where the attending physician pronounced Abu Raihan dead upon arrival.

Due to the severe nature of their internal injuries and fractures, the medical team ordered an immediate transfer to the Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital (SZRMC) in Bogra city for advanced trauma management.
“The critical state of the five remaining patients necessitated immediate access to specialized orthopedic and surgical units,” a hospital spokesman reported. “A fleet of emergency vehicles was deployed for their transit.”
During the journey to the secondary facility, Tamim Hossain’s physiological condition failed to stabilize; he succumbed to his injuries before reaching the SZRMC admission desk. The remaining four injured youths were successfully admitted and remain under medical care.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Bikash Chakraborty of the Sherpur Police Station confirmed that the police took immediate possession of the crash site. Law enforcement personnel successfully recovered the three damaged motorcycles from the highway and placed them into police storage pending a formal investigation into the precise speeds and mechanical factors behind the accident.
