Two people have died after a train rammed a truck on a level crossing amid heavy fog in Jashore.

The accident occurred at the Churamonkati rail crossing around 6:30 am on Sunday, according to Inspector Shahidul Islam of Jashore Railway Police.

The victims were identified as 26-year-old Parvez, the truck driver, and 28-year-old Nazmul Hasan, his assistant. They were both natives of Jhenaidah.
