Road accident in N. Afghanistan claims 2 lives, injures 2

KABUL, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Two commuters were killed and two others injured as a car veered from the road in northern Afghanistan's Takhar province on Tuesday, a news release from the provincial police office said.

Blaming reckless driving for the deadly mishap, which took place in Khwaja Bahauddin district, the news release added that a woman and a man lost their lives on the spot and two others, including a woman were injured.

A similar mishap had left a commuter dead and injured seven others in eastern Laghman province on Saturday, while a day earlier on Friday, a road accident killed two travelers and injured six others in Ghazni province.

Reckless driving on congested roads, lack of traffic signals and overlooking security measures on the dilapidated highways largely contribute to deadly traffic mishaps.
