KABUL, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- At least two commuters were killed and 16 others injured in multiple traffic accidents reported across Afghanistan over the past 24 hours, local police confirmed on Wednesday.
In northern Baghlan province's Dushi district, a head-on collision between two vehicles claimed one life and left four people injured. In eastern Wardak province, two separate incidents resulted in one fatality and five injuries.
A further seven people sustained injuries in another crash in Hazrat Sultan district of northern Samangan province. Authorities attributed the accidents primarily to reckless driving, warning that driver negligence on overcrowded and poorly maintained roads continues to claim lives.
The latest incidents follow two separate accidents on Monday and Sunday in northern Faryab and Kunduz provinces that killed five people and injured 23 others, including women and children. ■
