Kabul, July 4 : At least four people died when a vehicle turned turtle in northern Afghanistan’s Samangan province, a local official reported Thursday.
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, state-run media outlet Bakhtar News Agency quoted Qari Mohammad Nazir Saad, a provincial official for traffic, as saying.
The official blamed overspeeding as one of the major causes of the accident.
Overloading, overspeeding, dilapidated roads, old vehicles, a 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. (Agencies)
