KALAT: A horrible road accident in Kalat area on the Quetta-Karachi national highway caused death to two people and two more people sustained serious injuries.
According to the rescue officials, a rapid car moving from Karachi to Quetta collided with motorcycle coming from the opposite direction.
The motorcycle rider Abdul Qudoos and the car driver Sajjad Ali died on the spot whereas, Mohammad Ismail and Mohammad Afzal were seriously injured.
The rescue team arrived on the accident-spot and shifted the bodies and the injured people to the District Headquarter Hospital Kalat.
The police team have launched an investigation of the deadly accident.
It is worth mentioning that many such cases of road accidents occur across Balochistan.
The reports suggest that the ratio of deaths on account of road accident is horrible as compared to the other parts of the countries.
The fatal road accidents are caused due to many factors.
The road infrastructure across Balochistan is mainly poor as not only the national highways but also the other roads are in a state of disarray.
Often, the speedy vehicles overturn when they pass over the ditches and the rough patches on the roads.
The other significant reason for the road accident is that nearly 90 percent of the roads across Balochistan are one-way.
Whenever the vehicles overtake or come across each other on some risky turns, they collide and cause deadly accidents.
Another reason are the goods transport that travels from border areas to all parts of the countries carrying food-stuff, building material and other goods.
They often collide with the other vehicles due to the narrow passages available on the roads.
The traders, transporters and the passengers demand from the provincial government and the concerned departments to take necessary measures and provide a better road infrastructure to overcome such deadly accidents in Balochistan.
