Road accidents have become a regular affair in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of many. Traffic accidents have surged across the country as a result of reckless driving, poorly built roads, a lack of the rule of law, and badly maintained automobiles.
In a similar incident that happened in May in the Afghan province of Kapisa, six people died and nine others were hurt.
