At least 23 people were killed and four others wounded when a bus collided with a truck in western Afghan Herat province Sunday morning, sources said.
"A bus crashed with a truck head-on along Herat-Islam Qala highway at around 7:30 a.m. local time Sunday, leaving the casualties," provincial governor Sayyed Fazlullah Wahidi told Xinhua.
Police and rescue teams rushed to the site shortly after the accident happened in the road which leads to the Islam Qala bordering town near Iran, he said.
All injured have been shifted to the nearby hospitals. There were women and children among the victims.
The Afghan officials blamed reckless driving for the traffic incidents, saying reckless driving on congested roads and highways is the main cause of road accidents in Afghanistan.
