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.
Police Inspector (Investigation) of Patkelghata Police Station Sanjay Kumar Das confirmed the matter. "The bodies have been sent to the Sadar Hospital morgue," he said.
