KABUL, April 15 (Xinhua) -- At least three people were killed and 11 others injured after their vehicle veered off the road and turned turtle in northern Afghanistan's Badakhshan province, a local police official reported Tuesday evening.
The accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon in Dehgulan area of Faizabad, the provincial capital, after the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and flip over, provincial police spokesman Ehsanullah Kamgar said.
The three commuters died on the spot. The injured were transferred to a nearby health center for treatment, Kamgar added.
Road accidents remain a leading cause of death in Afghanistan, often the result of reckless driving, poor road conditions and a lack of traffic signs on dilapidated highways. Enditem
