The Bangladesh Road Transport Authority has suspended the registration of the rashly-driven bus that lost its roof amid the driver鈥檚 desperate bid to escape after an accident.
According to an office order of the BRTA鈥檚 Dhaka Metro Circle-2, the registration of vehicle bearing registration number Dhaka Metro-B-14-9350 has been suspended under the Road Transport Rules 2022.
The owner of the vehicle 鈥� the authorities of Prime Bank, Karwan Bazar branch 鈥� have been asked to appear in-person at a hearing with the registration certificate, tax token, fitness certificate, route permit, and the driver鈥檚 licence.
The office order said that on April 17, a bus named Barishal Express hit a private car on Kamarkhola rail flyover in Munshiganj鈥檚 Srinagar.
It then collided with a covered van severely damaging its front portion and causing panic to the driver.
Seeing police and army vehicles behind, the driver reportedly drove more and the bus hit the expressway railing, causing the roof to detach and fall onto the road and leaving eight passengers injured.
