The 580 model bus veered off the road and rolled over when traveling from Kandahar to the capital.

Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Matin-Kani reported irresponsible driving as the cause of the accident, according to ABC news.

Shocking photos from the scene show the mangled bus, with its roof and sides severely deformed, indicating a terrible impact.

Taliban representatives and local residents attempted to extract bodies from the wreckage and urgently transport the injured to hospitals.

Several survivors are in critical condition, raising concerns about a possible increase in the death toll.

Traffic Problems in Afghanistan

Fatal traffic accidents are not uncommon in Afghanistan. Last week, another tragedy occurred in Herat province, resulting in the deaths of 81 people when a vehicle carrying migrants from Iran caught fire.

The number of traffic accidents continues to rise. Experts point to reckless driving, poor road conditions, and the Taliban's struggles to regulate the activities of transport companies.

“The rate of traffic accidents in the country has increased unprecedentedly compared to any other time,” reports the local publication ABN Pashto on X.

This comes against the backdrop of another horrific accident in Uganda on Tuesday, where a passenger bus collided with an elephant.

As a result of this incident, at least one person died, and six others are fighting for their lives near Karuma.

The impact damaged the front of the bus, with officials confirming that the driver sustained fatal injuries in the collision.

According to local media, six other passengers were urgently taken to the hospital in critical condition, while several others received assistance at the scene for minor injuries.

Ugandan wildlife officials reported that the accident occurred because a wild elephant ran onto the road.

The animal, which was part of a herd of at least four, fled after the collision.

Rescue teams desperately searched for the elephant to check on its condition and provide assistance.

The police seized the remains of the bus at Dima police station while the investigation into this fatal incident continues.
