One person was killed and 15 others were injured when a vehicle crashed into a residential house in eastern Afghanistan's Logar province, a local police official said on Friday.
The accident occurred on the outskirts of Pul-e-Alam, the provincial capital, due to reckless driving, provincial police spokesman Mawlawi Ahmadullah Anas said.
The injured were taken to nearby health facilities, where their conditions were reported to be stable, he added.
In a separate incident in neighboring Nangarhar province on Wednesday night, one person was killed and 35 others injured in another road accident.
Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death in Afghanistan, where reckless driving on congested roads and the poor condition of highways, often lacking proper signage, contribute to frequent crashes in the war-torn country.
