Two students died as their motorbike crashed on a road divider in the capital’s Khilgaon area yesterday.
Of them, Sabbir Hossain, 19, was a second-year student of Dhaka Polytechnic Institute and Ferdous Alam, 18, was an SSC examinee from the local Abdul Aziz School and College.
As Ferdous lost control of the bike near Khilgaon flyover, it crashed against the road divider, leaving him dead on the spot. Sabbir was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where he was declared dead, said police.
Tamim Hossain, owner of the motorbike, told The Daily Star that his friends Sabbir and Ferdous had taken the bike from his Basabo house to buy food to celebrate his birthday.
