In a tragic road accident in London, a Bangladeshi teenager has died.

The deceased was identified as Nadvi Talha Bin Ahmed (19). He lived with his family in London. His family's ancestral home is in Sylhet's Chowkideki area.

On April 6, around 1:50pm local time, the accident took place on A21 motorway in Essex.
