According to a statement from the Taliban governor's office in Bamyan, the accident occurred around 10:30 AM on Friday (August 2) in the "Paymuri" area of Shebar district.

The statement reported that a "Corolla" car traveling from Kabul to Punjab district in Bamyan collided with a cargo truck. As a result, five passengers were killed, and a teenager and a child were injured.

The injured teenager is reported to be in critical condition.

It is noteworthy that traffic accidents have been on the rise in various parts of the country recently. Two days ago, a traffic accident in Kapisa province resulted in the deaths of three women and two men, with three others injured.

Poor road conditions, driver carelessness, and lack of traffic signs are among the main causes of traffic accidents in the country.
