In Chapar under Dhubri district, a fatal accident occurred on National Highway-17 when a goods-laden Bolero vehicle collided head-on with a truck amid dense fog. The Bolero, which was carrying maize from Siliguri towards Chapar, was involved in the crash with an oncoming truck.

The Bolero involved in the accident bore registration number AS-18-AC-3928, while the truck was registered as AS-17-C-9133. Chapar police reached the spot soon after the incident and carried out rescue and recovery operations.
