Five people, including four of a family, were killed after a truck hit a CNG-run auto-rickshaw on Rajshahi-Dhaka highway in Rajshahi's Belpukur area this afternoon.

The victims were declared dead at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, said Jamirul Islam, additional deputy commissioner of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police.

The deceased were identified as Sharmin, 17, Sharmin's aunt Parvin Begum, 35, uncle Ayub Ali Labu, 33, and her grandfather Insab Ali and auto-rickshaw driver Mokhles, 45.

The family members were traveling to Rajshahi from Natore's Gurudaspur upazila.
