RASC News Agency: A collision between a high-speed car and a Taliban ranger near Herat province resulted in six individuals either killed or injured, as reported by local sources. The incident occurred at approximately 8:00 p.m. on Friday, November 24th, in the Gozara district of the province. Reports suggest that the collision transpired when a Saracha-type car attempted to overtake another vehicle, subsequently colliding with the Taliban ranger. The accident claimed the lives of three civilians, while three others sustained injuries. The Taliban group in Herat province has not issued any statement regarding this traffic incident.
Despite the recent upswing in traffic incidents across various provinces of the country, the Taliban has maintained silence on the matter. The escalation in accidents can be attributed to various factors, including driver negligence and the subpar condition of roads. In less than a week, over 20 fatalities and nearly 20 injuries have been reported due to traffic accidents in different parts of the country.
Contributing factors such as non-compliance with traffic regulations, substandard road conditions, excessive speeding, unfamiliarity with certain routes, and challenging road conditions contribute to these incidents occurring in various provinces. It is worth noting that a lack of adherence to traffic rules and disorder on urban roads within districts often underlie many traffic incidents in different provinces of the country.
Taking proactive measures is imperative to address the escalating problem of traffic accidents. This entails fostering a greater understanding of road safety, implementing traffic regulations with utmost efficiency, improving the quality of road infrastructure, and ensuring strict adherence to construction standards. Through collaborative efforts, we can endeavor to minimize the frequency of such incidents and safeguard the lives of our fellow community members.
