A car fell into the Karnaphuli river after breaking the railing of Kalurghat bridge under renovation. At that time, it is said that two people including the driver of the car were rescued by the locals and sent to the hospital. The injured were not immediately identified.
The accident happened on Saturday (September 7) night.
Eyewitnesses said that due to reckless speed, the car lost control and crashed into the railing of the bridge.
Boalkhali Fire Service Station Sub Officer Md Saidur Rahman said that the locals were able to rescue the two people immediately. But the car was swept away by the strong current of the river.
Incidentally, the bridge is currently being carpeted to make it traffic-friendly.
