Tragedy in Afghanistan: 17 killed, 34 injured in bus crash on Kabul-northern provinces highway, highlighting country's dire road safety issues amid poor conditions, reckless driving, and lack of regulation.

On Tuesday, July 16, a bus overturned in northern Afghanistan, resulting in at least 17 fatalities and 34 injuries.

The tragedy occurred on a roadway that connected Kabul to the country's northern provinces, it was discovered. There were three infants, two women, and twelve males among the dead.

Afghanistan's roads are plagued by frequent accidents, caused by a combination of poor road conditions - a result of years of conflict - reckless driving habits, and a lack of effective traffic regulation.

There were twenty-one dead and thirty-eight injured in March's incident in the southern Afghan province of Helmand between a bus, an oil tanker, and a motorcycle.
