A TOTAL of 35 Afghans were killed and 27 others injured today when a bus overturned on a highway in southern Afghanistan, officials said.

The smash happened just outside Kandahar city in the Daman district of Kandahar province on the main road connecting it to the capital, Kabul.

"Today at 3.30am, 35 passengers were killed and 27 other passengers were wounded in a traffic accident when a bus rolled over," the interior ministry said.

"The Ministry of Interior Affairs asks all drivers to drive carefully and observe all traffic rules and regulations because a small reckless move can endanger many lives."

Afghanistan's roads are perilous and many vehicles in the country are old, meaning that high casualty road traffic accidents are relatively common.
