Three people were killed and 30 others wounded after a bus collided head-on with an oil truck on a highway in the eastern Afghan province of Ghazni, provincial police chief said on Sunday.
"The incident occurred in Nawaqampani locality of Muqur district late Saturday. The incident claimed the lives of three passengers and injured 30 others aboard the bus," Gen. Aminullah Amarkhil told Xinhua.
The killed and injured were shifted to the district's hospital and the traffic police have launched an investigation into the incident, the official added.
Reckless driving is mainly blamed for traffic incidents on congested roads and highways.
The incident came as heavy snow has disrupted traffic in most parts of the mountainous country over the past couple of days.
On Friday, some 15 passengers were killed and over 30 injured after a bus overturned in southern Helmand province.
