According to the information, the first accident occurred after a Toyota Prius overturned and caught fire, while the second resulted from a collision between two speeding Toyota Corollas.
Meanwhile, the Taliban’s police command in Maidan Wardak said in a statement that two people were killed and another was injured after two Toyota Corollas collided in Saydabad district of the province, along the Kabul-Kandahar highway.
Separately, sources said that two people were injured this morning after a cargo truck collided with several vehicles in the Arghandi area of Paghman district in Kabul province, along the Kabul-Kandahar highway.
Driver negligence, deteriorating roads, and failure to observe traffic rules are considered the main causes of deadly traffic accidents in the country.
