FAIZABAD, Afghanistan, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- At least seven travelers lost their lives, and four others were injured following a deadly road accident in north Afghanistan's Badakhshan province on Friday, provincial police spokesman Ihsanullah Kamgar said on Saturday.
The deadly road accident took place on Friday afternoon when a vehicle turned turtle and plunged into the Amu River in the Khwahan district of this province, leaving the seven dead and four injured, the official added.
The injured, some in critical condition, have been shifted to a nearby hospital, said the spokesman, who partly blamed mechanical failures for the incident. ■
