Eight dead after vehicle falls into river in Afghanistan

KABUL – In a devastating accident, eight people, including women and children, lost their lives when a passenger vehicle plunged into the Kokcha River in northern Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province.

The tragic incident occurred late Friday as the vehicle was en route to Faizabad, the provincial capital. Zabihullah Amiri, Badakhshan’s director of information and culture, confirmed the fatalities, stating that the victims included the driver and seven close relatives—three women and four children.

Emergency responders and locals quickly reached the site, working through challenging conditions to recover the bodies, according to Xinhua news agency.

Afghanistan grapples with thousands of road fatalities annually, attributed to poor infrastructure, reckless driving, vehicle overloading, and excessive speeds. This latest tragedy underscores the urgent need for improved road safety measures in the country.
