At least three women, who were headed for a shrine in Sylhet from Kishoreganj, died after a pick-up van collided head-on with a truck laden with rocks in Habiganj. At least 10 others were injured.
The accident occurred on the Dhaka-Sylhet highway in front of Mouchak Mohana Community Centre around 2 am Saturday, said Bahubal Model Police Station chief Raqibul Islam Khan.

Police seized both vehicles but the drivers and a truck assistant had fled by then, Raqibul said.
