Australia road crash kills 3 Bangladeshis

At least three Bangladeshi nationals were killed on Saturday in a road accident at Kakadu Highway in Darwin, the capital city of Northern Territory of Australia.

The accident took place at 12.30pm on Saturday, reports news agency UNB quoting ABC News.

Seven young people - all believed to be members of the Top End’s Bangladeshi student community - were travelling from Jabiru to Cooinda in a Toyota Landcruiser on Saturday afternoon when it crashed on the Kakadu Highway.

Four women were injured in the crash and are in a stable condition in Royal Darwin hospital, the report said.

NT police acting assistant commissioner commander Tony Fuller said the accident occurred when the 29-year-old driver lost control on a large, sweeping bend.

Two of the injured people might have limbs amputated, and another had a severe head injury, police said.

“The two rear passengers were able to escape, the driver and front passenger were unable to escape, and they have died at the scene,” police said.
