At least three people were injured as a speedy CNG-run auto-rickshaw flipped several times after hitting the road divider at Hatirjheel in Dhaka this evening.

The injured include a 55-year-old man and his two daughters, said Shahadat, a security guard at Hatirjheel.

Talking to The Daily Star, he said, "Two of them were critically injured."

They were rushed to MH Samorita Hospital and Medical College, he added.

Reckless driving caused the accident at Modhubagh intersection around 8:00pm, said Shahadat, an eyewitness.

The driver fled while people were busy rescuing the passengers, Shahadat said.

Meanwhile, Tejgaon industrial police have reached the spot.
