On March 1, another highway accident in Jawzjan province claimed three lives and injured six others when two speeding vehicles collided due to reckless driving.

The provincial police reported that both drivers and a female passenger died at the scene, while the injured were transported to a nearby medical facility. Authorities reiterated the importance of following traffic rules to avoid further accidents.

Road safety remains a significant concern in Afghanistan, where poor road conditions, reckless driving, and insufficient safety measures contribute to frequent and deadly accidents.
