3 Killed in Traffic Accident in Afghanistan’s Badakhshan

At least three people were killed in a traffic accident that took place in the Kofaab district of northeastern Badakhshan province, Taliban officials said.

Esanullah Kamgar, the spokesperson of the police in Badakhshan province on Sunday, June 11, confirmed the incident and said the road accident took place in the Kofaab district of the province.

The incident happened when a Toyota Datsun deviated from the road and fell into the valley, resulting in the death of three people who were in the vehicle.

Meanwhile, in several traffic incidents in different parts of the country including Sar-e Pol, Bamyan and Zabul province over the past week, at least 33 people were killed and 45 others sustained serious injuries in a single day, according to official sources.  

The recent rise in the number of road incidents is directly linked to careless driving, lack of paved roads, poorly maintained vehicles and failure to abide by the traffic laws according to officials.
