Akbar Bahramzehi was seriously injured and suffered severe burns on the evening of Sunday, September 6, following a collision involving at least four vehicles on the Sirkan road in Saravan County.
Following the incident, he was transferred to a medical center in Zahedan and, due to the severity of his burns and injuries, was in critical physical condition and under medical care while unconscious and in a coma.
He eventually died after thirteen days of hospitalization due to the severity of his injuries.

According to reports received, Akbar Bahramzehi entered the fire several times during the incident in an attempt to rescue and assist Barakat Balochzehi.
The incident occurred on the evening of Saturday, September 5, following a collision involving at least four vehicles on the Sirkan–Saravan road.
At least seven citizens, including two Baloch Sukhtbars, were injured in the collision. Two of the vehicles involved belonged to Sukhtbars, while the other two belonged to ordinary citizens.
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have been forced to turn to due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturns, and direct gunfire from military and security forces are among the dangers that threaten the lives of these Sukhtbars.According to the 2025 annual report of the Baluchistan Human Rights Documentation Network, at least 262 Sukhtbars were killed or injured. Of these, 173 Sukhtbars lost their lives due to gunfire by military forces, road accidents during pursuits by security forces, or explosions caused by mines planted by the IRGC, while 89 others were injured. Four child Sukhtbars were among those killed.
