A mother and her three-year-old son were killed, while two others injured, in a road accident in the Kumira area in Satkhira's Patkelghata upazila yesterday.
The deceased are Rita Sadhu, 28, wife of Apurba Sadhu from Kapilmuni village, and her three-year-old son Sourav Sadhu.
In the accident, Rita's husband Apurba Sadhu, 34, and their four-year-old daughter Shova Sadhu sustained injuries and are currently undergoing treatment. The accident occurred at the Kumira Kadamtala intersection on the Satkhira-Khulna highway around 12:30pm.
According to locals, the family was travelling to Rita's father's house in the Sagardari area under Keshabpur upazila on a motorcycle. While passing through the Kumira Kadamtala intersection, a Satkhira-bound passenger bus coming from the opposite direction hit the motorbike, leaving Rita and Sourav dead on the spot.
