Soybean Oil Laden Truck Overturns on Highway

On the Dhaka-Tangail highway, a truck carrying soybean oil heading to North Bengal overturned with a damaged wheel. The incident took place at around 11:30 am on Thursday (March 24) in the Ashekpur bypass area of ​​Dhaka-Tangail Bangabandhu Highway.

Although there were no casualties in the accident, the soybean oil in the truck was later disrupting traffic on the highway.

Truck driver Atowar said the front wheel of the truck burst when it reached the Ashekpur bypass area of ​​Tangail Bangabandhu Highway on the way from Chittagong to Naogaon. The truck lost control and overturned on the highway island.

He also said that the truck had 11 and a half tons of soybean oil.

Elenga Highway Police Sub-Inspector (SI) Billal Hossain said arrangements were being made to remove the truck involved in the accident. In order to keep the traffic flowing normally, sand will be given to all the parts of the highway where oil has been spilled. In order to keep the highways free from traffic congestion, all the transports from Dhaka to North Bengal have been given the opportunity to use the underpass used for three-wheelers for the time being.

He also said that there was no traffic jam on the highway due to the accident.
