At least four people died as a vehicle turned turtle in northern Afghanistan’s Samangan province, a local official reported today.
The incident happened on a district road along the highway linking Samangan with neighbouring Balkh province when a vehicle veered off the road and overturned, leaving four dead on the spot and one injured.
Overloading, overspeeding, dilapidated roads, old vehicles, lack of safety measures during travel and reckless driving on congested highways are among the main reasons for road mishaps in the mountainous Asian country.
