Four people were killed in a head-on collision between a cargo truck and a pickup van in the Kahalu upazila of Bogra on Saturday morning. The accident occurred at approximately 10:30 a.m. in the Kazipara area along the Bogra-Naogaon highway.

Authorities have identified one of the victims as 50-year-old Lutfor Rahman, a fish trader from Raghobpur village in Mymensingh. The identities of the remaining three victims, including the driver and his assistant, remain unconfirmed as police continue their investigation.
