The identity of the microbus driver is yet to be confirmed. According to Fire Service sources, both the microbus and the covered van were heading towards Chittagong; and the microbus was driving behind the covered van. At one stage, the front portion of the microbus became entangled in the back of a covered van; which resulted in the covered van dragging the microbus for 100 metres on the busy Dhaka-Chittagong Highway. Later, the microbus caught fire and three people burned to death on the spot. The driver of the covered van fled the scene.
