Local Taliban officials have announced that four people were killed and seven others injured in two separate traffic incidents in Ghazni province.
Khalid Sarhadi, spokesperson for the Taliban police command in Ghazni, said that as a result of a passenger vehicle veering off the road and overturning on the Ghazni–Waghaz route, four people lost their lives.
He added that in the second incident, a cargo truck collided with two passenger vehicles in the Qarabagh district on the Kabul–Kandahar highway, leaving seven people injured.
According to the Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency, the cause of these incidents has been reported as driver negligence.
Traffic accidents are considered one of the major causes of mortality in Afghanistan, claiming hundreds of lives across the country every year.
