In Afghanistan, 21 dead and 38 injured in a road collision. The collision took place in the south of the country between a tanker truck carrying gasoline, a bus and a motorcycle which caught fire.
Traffic on the roads of Afghanistan, a country bled by four decades of fighting and crossed by high mountain ranges, is often very deadly. Thirty-one people died in December 2022 at the Salang pass, in the Hindu Kush range, after a tanker overturned, setting other vehicles on fire.
