At least four people died and another person was injured when their car careened into a river in the east of Kabul province last night, local officials said Monday.
The incident took place in the Surbe district of Kabul yesterday evening when the car lost control and crashed into the river, district governor Shah Aghasi said.
"The bodies of four of the victims are missing, the rescue team is trying to find them. A man who was injured in the incident was taken in a nearby hospital," Aghasi said.
Four others including a woman who are missing are believed to have died, he said.
The passengers were travelling from Kabul to the east parts of Afghanistan, he added, saying he believed the incident happened because of driver neglect.
