AYBAK (XINHUA) – Three commuters died and five others were injured as their vehicle turned turtle on a road in north Afghanistan’s Samangan province yesterday, a provincial health official said.
Three bodies and five injured travellers, including three in critical condition, have been taken to the hospital, Sayed Usman Hamidi said.
Reckless driving, poorly built roads and lack of safety measures on congested roads are the main reasons for road crashes in mountainous Afghanistan.
Over 400 people have reportedly been killed due to traffic accidents over the past three months, according to the authorities.
