MP Atik Mujahid escapes fatal road accident

A microbus carrying Kurigram-2 lawmaker Atik Mujahid has been left mangled after being struck by a truck in a pre-dawn crash, with the MP narrowly escaping serious harm, reports bdnews24.com.
The accident occurred around 6:30 am on Tuesday near the Kaunia Bailey Bridge on the Rangpur-Kurigram Highway, Kurigram Sadar Police chief Jahangir Alam said.
While Atik sustained what officials described as minor injuries, two others -- driver Abul Kalam Azad (40), and passenger Ikram Hossain (25) -- were critically hurt and rushed to Rangpur Medical College Hospital.
Mujahid's private officer Sazzad Hossain said, ‘‘The MP is at home and in good condition now.’’
