The incident occurred late on September 23 when Smriti was returning home on a motorcycle after performing at a cultural program in Bhurungamari Upazila. At around 12:30 AM, her motorcycle collided head-on with a trolley in the Bhogdanga Math-er Par area of Kurigram Sadar. Both Smriti and her younger brother Rakibul Islam, who was driving, sustained severe injuries.
Locals rushed them to Kurigram Sadar Hospital. Given her critical state, doctors referred Smriti to Rangpur for advanced treatment.

Multiple emergency surgeries are required to prevent permanent disability.
