KABUL: At least five commuters, including women and children, were injured, some in critical condition, due to a head-on collision of two cars in northern Afghanistan's Balkh province, said a news release of the provincial police office.
Without providing more details, the news release on Sunday evening blamed reckless driving for the mishap, calling on the drivers to respect traffic rules and regulations while driving on the congested roads, Xinhua News Agency reported.
A similar accident claimed one life and injured five others in the central Daykundi province a day earlier on Saturday.
On September 26, provincial police said a commuter lost his life and 11 others sustained injuries in a head-on road collision in northern Afghanistan's Jawzjan province.
