Two teenage friends tragically lost their lives in a devastating road accident in Raipura upazila of Narsingdi district. The incident took place on Friday night along the Narsingdi-Raipura regional road in the Hasnabad area under Amirganj union. The deceased teenagers have been identified as Nirob Mia, 17, son of Selim Mia, and Jibon Mia, 17, son of Zayedul Mia, both hailing from Madhyapara area of Saharchar village under Radhanagar union in Raipura. Being childhood friends living next door to each other, their sudden demise has cast a pall of gloom over the entire locality.
According to family members and local sources, the two friends had gone out for a ride to Narsingdi town on a motorcycle on Friday afternoon. After spending the evening touring around, they were heading back home around 9:00 PM. As they reached the Hasnabad area on the Narsingdi-Raipura regional road, their motorcycle was involved in a head-on collision with a moving nosimon—a locally improvised motorized transport—coming from the opposite direction. The violent impact flung both teenagers off the bike onto the asphalt, leaving them with severe injuries.
Immediate bystanders rushed to the scene and transported the injured youths to the Narsingdi Sadar Hospital. Emergency medical officers at the hospital provided initial treatment, but seeing their critical condition, referred them instantly to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced trauma care. While being rushed to Dhaka in an ambulance, both teenagers succumbed to their injuries around 11:00 PM. Following the tragic turn of events, the grief-stricken family members brought the bodies back home.
Dr. Farida Gulshanara Kabir, resident medical officer of Narsingdi Sadar Hospital, stated that the two teenagers were brought to the hospital in extremely critical condition on Friday night. Given the severity of their injuries, they were immediately referred to Dhaka, but unfortunately, they could not survive the journey.
Confirming the incident, Raipura Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mujibur Rahman stated that police learned about the deaths through various sources. However, no formal complaint has been filed by the families of the deceased victims yet. Local communities have once again expressed deep concern over the proliferation of unfit and unauthorized slow-moving vehicles on regional highways, alongside calls for stricter parental monitoring of underage driving.
