A BRTC bus lost control of its speed this morning, resulting in the blockade of the Bijoy Sarani road in Agargaon.
Rafeed Rahman, an eyewitness to the incident, recounted that the bus got stuck across the entrance of Bijoy Sarani after its brakes failed.
"The driver maneuvered the bus towards the left side island to prevent a crash. Unfortunately, due to the bus's length, it ended up obstructing the entire road," he explained.
