Road accidents remain a serious concern across Balochistan, especially on highways such as the N-25, which connects major cities and is often used by heavy vehicles.
Poor road conditions, lack of safety measures, and reckless driving contribute to frequent mishaps, resulting in heavy loss of life.
Authorities have repeatedly stressed the need for stricter traffic enforcement, improved infrastructure, and awareness campaigns to reduce such tragedies.
Over the past ten years, Balochistan has witnessed a sharp rise in road accidents, often resulting in significant loss of life and injuries.
Highways like the N-25, Quetta-Karachi (dubbed the “Killer Highway”), as well as key links such as Lak Pass and N-25, remain hotspots.
Single-lane, narrow roads combined with sharp curves, inadequate signage, and poor road surfaces are frequent contributors.
From 2019-2024, data from the Balochistan Medical Emergency Response Centre shows over 46,000 traffic accidents in five years, injuring more than 63,000 people and causing 1,221 deaths.
In one year alone, 969 accidents were reported, resulting in 794 fatalities.
Motorcyclists and small-vehicle occupants often bear the worst impact; many do not use helmets or seat belts.
