Truck falls into Turag after bailey bridge collapse

A stone-laden truck plunged into the the Turag River in Tongi, Gazipur as a bailey bridge over the river collapsed early Saturday, disrupting traffic on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway.
Gazipur Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner NM Nasir Uddin said the stone-laden truck fell into the river due to the collapse of the bridge and vehicles bound for Gazipur are now being redirected through Kamarpara.
He said traffic of the other routes through the newly-constructed bridge over the Turag River remains unaffected.
