The Crime Desk: A few bikes climbed the Kalurghat Bridge in haste without obeying the signal. At this time, an oil wagon came along the middle of the bridge. However, as the speed of the train slowed down after reaching the bridge, the motorcyclists avoided a major accident if they quickly moved away from the bridge with their cars. The incident took place in the middle of the bridge at around 3:30 pm yesterday.
Kalurghat bridge area railway gatekeeper said that the wagon carrying furnace oil was honking its horn even before it reached the bridge. However, a few motorcycles from the Boalkhali section tried to cross the bridge at high speed and got on the bridge. Meanwhile, the wagon also comes along the middle of the bridge. At this time, several motorcycles coming from the direction of Boalkhali quickly turned around and went back to Boalkhali.
Lokman, a local observer, said that due to the low speed of the oil train, the motorcycles were able to turn quickly and go in the opposite direction. Otherwise, a major accident would have occurred. The oil train was carrying furnace oil for the Dohazari power plant.
