An auto-rickshaw driver and his four passengers were killed in an accident on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway at the Madambibirhat area under Sitakunda upazila in Chittagong Tuesday.
The deceased were Nur-us-Safa, 55, Monir, 30, Halim, 35, Mujib, 30, and Lokman Miah, 32.
Lokman Miah was the auto-rickshaw driver while the others were the workers of a ship-breaking yard at Bhatiari operated by SM Corporation.
The police and local people said that at about 6:30am a Dhaka bound truck collided head on with the CNG run auto-rickshaw coming from the opposite direction, killing them on the spot.
The workers were going to their workplace by that auto-rickshaw, said Ohidur Rahman, Highway police officer-in-charge.
The OC said that they seized the truck and the smashed auto-rickshaw while the truck driver had fled.
