KABUL, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — The death toll in a fatal road accident in Afghanistan's western Herat province on Tuesday night has risen to 79, including women and children, Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Matin Kani said on Wednesday.
Among the victims were 19 children, he added.
Initially, local authorities reported 64 deaths and three injuries.
Recall that on Tuesday night, a passenger bus carrying Afghan repatriates from Iran collided with a motorcycle and a small truck on the road connecting Iran with the city of Herat in Afghanistan.
Most of the bodies of the victims could not be identified because the bus caught fire in the crash, local authorities said, blaming careless driving as the cause of the accident. –0–
