In a traffic incident in Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran, at least 9 people died and 9 others were injured, of whom seven of the deceased are Afghan citizens.

According to a report by the local media outlet “Halwash,” this incident occurred on the morning of Friday, September 18, on the Iranshahr–Jakigur route within the Sarbaz district.

The report states that a Peugeot 405 vehicle carrying Afghan migrants collided with a Zamyad vehicle carrying fuel.

In this incident, in addition to seven Afghan citizens, the drivers of both vehicles also died.

It has been said that 9 other people were injured in this accident, and it is possible that most of them are also Afghan citizens.

Halwash has identified the driver of the vehicle carrying migrants as “Sajjad Hosseinzahi,” but no information has been published about the identity of the driver of the fuel-carrying vehicle.

The main cause of this incident has not yet been determined.

Meanwhile, the Tasnim news agency also confirmed this incident in a published report and wrote that this incident occurred at 8:00 AM on September 27.

This incident comes as, in recent months, numerous reports have been published about Afghan migrants dying on routes leading to Iran.

About a week ago, four Afghan migrants also died in a traffic accident in Iran.
