A Baloch Sukhtbar was injured after a vehicle overturned and caught fire on the Iranshahr–Sarbaz route.
According to Kolbarnews, on the morning of Tuesday, May 20, 2025, a Baloch Sukhtbar was injured due to the overturn and subsequent fire of a Sukhtbari Toyota pickup at kilometer 10 of the Iranshahr–Sarbaz highway.
According to informed sources, the vehicle veered off the road for unknown reasons, overturned, and caught fire. The driver, who suffered burns, was transferred to Iranshahr hospital for treatment.
As of the time of this report, the identity of the injured Baloch Sukhtbar has not been confirmed.
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 reports from Baloch activists, in the year 2024, at least 375 Baloch Sukhtbars have been injured or lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires. Of this number, 240 Sukhtbars were killed and 135 were injured, representing a 55% increase in the number of killed and injured Sukhtbars compared to the year 2023.
