A Tangail commuter train and a freight train crashed in the Joydebpur areaSeveral people have been injured as a Tangail commuter train collided head-on with a freight train near the Joydebpur Railway Junction in Gazipur. The accident occurred in the Kazi Bari area of Choto Dewra, said Joydebpur Station Master Hanif Mia. The station master said that the Tangail commuter train had left Tangail in the morning and was heading to Dhaka after a stop at the Joydebpur Station. The train was crossing a line at the outer signal when the freight train crashed into it from the opposite direction. Locals say the Tangail commuter train was largely empty as it headed to Dhaka, which limited the casualties.
