Kabul, Aug 25
A road accident claimed the lives of three passengers and left four others injured when a vehicle veered off the road and flipped over in northern Afghanistan's Badakhshan province, the provincial police said on Monday.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon in the Pul-e-Shopay area of Kohistan district, where a passenger vehicle turned turtle due to reckless driving, said the provincial police spokesman Ehsanullah Kamgar.
Among the deceased were a woman and a child, who died at the scene. The four injured were rapidly shifted to local health centres for treatment, reported.
Earlier on Sunday, at least two people were killed and 12 others injured in two separate road accidents in eastern Afghanistan's Ghazni province.
The accidents occurred in Ghazni city, the provincial capital, and the Ab Band district on a road linking Ghazni to neighbouring Kandahar province, leaving two victims dead on the spot and 12 others wounded, according to local media reports.
