The victims have been identified as Farid Munshi, his wife Peyara Begum, 50, and their daughter Lucky Akter, a student of class 10. "A Dhaka-bound cargo train coming from Chattogram hit the autorickshaw at the level-crossing. The passengers of the damaged vehicle were rushed to Cumilla Medical College Hospital where Munshi died," Station Master Shafiqur Rahman said. "Lucky died in a Dhaka hospital while Peyara Begum passed away on her way to Dhaka from CMCH," said Harun Ahmed, a relative of the victims.
