Toronto highway crash claims lives of three students from Bangladesh

A car accident occurred on Highway 427 in Toronto, resulting in the death of three international students from Bangladesh.

The accident was caused by a car travelling at an extremely high speed that flew over a concrete ramp, landed in a ditch, and hit another concrete wall before bursting into flames. Four international students who were living in Toronto were pulled from the car, and three of them passed away.

The Consulate General of Bangladesh has identified the deceased students as Arian Alam Dipto, Shahriar Mahir Khan, and Angela Baroi. The fourth student, Nibir Kumar, who was driving the car, remains in critical condition at a Toronto hospital. Kumar is the son of popular Bangladeshi singer Kumar Bishwajit, according to Consul General Lutfor Rahman.

In a statement, Rahman expressed his condolences to the bereaved families of the deceased students and prayed for their eternal peace. Rahman also wished for the quick recovery of the injured student. The families of the deceased are working to repatriate their bodies to Bangladesh after the memorial services. Meanwhile, friends of the deceased have taken to social media to share their memories of the victims.

A visitation for Angela Baroi was set for Monday evening in Toronto’s west end, while a service for Arian Alam Dipto and Shahriar Mahir Khan was held Monday in the city’s east end.

The victims of the accident were all international students who were living in the Greater Toronto Area and attending different schools. This incident has raised concerns among the international student community in Canada, especially during the winter season when road conditions can be challenging.

Nazia Hossain, the vice-president of the National Bangladeshi-Canadian Council, has urged other international students to be cautious on the roads, particularly at night. She emphasized that road conditions in Canada can be very different from those in Bangladesh, and students should take extra care when driving. The families of the deceased students are said to be devastated by the incident.

Last year, a similar accident occurred on Ontario’s Highway 401, which claimed the lives of five international students from India who were studying in the Greater Toronto Area and Montreal. The victims were identified as Harpreet Singh, Jaspinder Singh, Karanpal Singh, Mohit Chouhan, and Pawan Kumar.

The accident has also raised concerns about the safety of international students in Canada. The National Bangladeshi-Canadian Council has called for better road safety measures and improved support for international students. The organization has also expressed its condolences to the families of the deceased and has offered its support during this difficult time.
