The accident took place late Wednesday outside the provincial capital Gardez city in Garda Chiri area, when a mini-bus collided with another vehicle coming from the opposite direction, killing three travelers on the spot and injuring nine others, some in critical condition. Congested roads, old vehicles, and reckless driving, according to Afghans could be the main reason for road accidents in the war-ravaged Afghanistan.
