HERAT, Afghanistan, Jan 28 (NNN-AGENCIES) – Nine people were killed and two others injured, in a wagon-bus collision, in Afghanistan’s western Herat province yesterday (Wednesday), a local government spokesman said.
The accident happened when a wagon hit head-on into a long-distance bus, coming from the opposite direction, along a provincial highway, in Herat’s Adraskan district, at mid-day, spokesman, Jilani Farhad, said.
Those killed, including three women and a child, were passengers aboard the wagon, the official said.
Road mishaps are frequent in the mountainous country, and occur mostly due to poor driving or badly maintained roads and vehicles.– NNN-AGENCIES
