A 40-year-old man tragically lost his life in a road accident in Rangpur after losing control of his motorcycle, authorities reported. The incident occurred on Sunday morning in the Mahipur SKS Bazar area of Lakshmitari Union, within Gangachhara Upazila. The deceased has been identified as Md Rashed, the son of Azizul Islam, a resident of Pakpara in Rangpur city.
According to police reports and local sources, Rashed was travelling towards Kakina in Lalmonirhat on Saturday morning when the accident took place. Eyewitnesses stated that as he approached the SKS Bazar area, he suddenly lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a nearby tree. Emergency responders confirmed that Rashed succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
The Gangachhara Model Police Station promptly dispatched officers to recover the body, which was subsequently taken to the Upazila Health Complex. Investigators noted that there were no other vehicles involved, suggesting that the crash was likely due to a loss of control rather than a collision with another motorist.
Officer-in-Charge of Gangachhara Model Police Station, Al Emran, said that the family had been informed and assured that all necessary legal procedures would be completed before the body was handed over for burial. “We are carrying out all formalities in accordance with standard protocol to ensure the family receives the body as soon as possible,” he stated.
Local residents expressed their shock and sorrow over the sudden death of Rashed, describing him as a well-known figure in the area. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about road safety in rural areas, where poorly maintained roads and high-speed travel can lead to fatal accidents.
