8 killed in road accident in Afghanistan

Date:

At least eight people lost their lives following a road accident in northern Afghanistan’s Jawzjan province, a local official has reported.

The mishap happened late Sunday when a passenger car crashed with a fuel tanker in the province’s Khawaja Dokoh district along the highway linking Jawzjan with neighboring Faryab province, said Shabir Ahmad Saedi, provincial manager of police traffic.

The deceased, which included four children, have been shifted to the provincial hospital, Saedi added.

Road accidents are prevalent in Afghanistan due to poor road conditions, reckless driving, challenging terrains, overloading, overtaking and speeding.
