Time Digital News: Three Bangladeshi of a family, visiting Australia, were killed in a car crash in Canberra on Sunday, reported Daily Mail Australia.
The deceased are Shahidul Islam, 61, Razia Sultana, 54, and their son Roni, 21, reported our Munshiganj correspondent.
The couple's elder son Rashed, who is in his 20s, was driving the car. He was rushed to Canberra Hospital where he remains in the ICU in a critical condition.
Police confirmed that the three who died at the scene on Coppins Crossing Road were visiting Australia on tourist visas, said the report.
Emergency responders had to cut the vehicle to bring out the family after a head-on collision with a van.
Shahid was a retired upazila fisheries officer at Shirajdikhan upazila and Sultana was a retired primary school teacher. Roni had just passed 10th grade, reported our Munshiganj correspondent.
"The point at which the collision occurred, the signage is ambiguous, it's pretty much a construction track being used almost as an arterial road," Weston Creek Community Council's Bill Gremmel told Australian media.
"It goes from quite a wide two-lane road [John Gorton Drive] down to a narrow, single-lane each way road [Coppins Crossing Road] very quickly and it's on the downhill," he continued.
Police investigations into the crash continue, said the report, adding that the spot where the accident happened is a "known crash spot".
