At least 25 passengers were killed and 27 others injured when a bus overturned Wednesday morning in the Arghandi area west of Kabul, officials said. Abdul Mateen Qani, spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior Affairs, attributed the accident to reckless driving. Emergency services promptly transported the injured to nearby health centers, according to Xinhua.
The tragedy adds to a deadly week on Afghan roads, which has seen nearly 100 fatalities. Earlier, a bus-truck collision in Herat province claimed 79 lives, including women and children.
