Ten killed in Bangladesh crash

Police in Bangladesh say at least 10 people have been killed and 40 others injured in a road accident in the district of Bogra, about 200 km north west of the capital, Dhaka.

The accident took place when a passenger bus collided with a lorry.

This is the third such accident in less than a fortnight.

Twelve people were killed in an accident in the northern district of Serajganj earlier this month.

A week earlier, 12 passengers were killed when a bus fell into a roadside ditch near Dhaka.
