Two Sukhtbars lost their lives following a collision and fire involving two Sukhtbari vehicles on the Kahnooj–Anbarabad road.
According to Kolbarnews, on Friday, May 23, 2025, a severe head-on collision between two Sukhtbari vehicles on this route led to a fire, resulting in the deaths of both Sukhtbar drivers.
Published images show the two vehicles crashed frontally and caught fire shortly afterward.
As of the time of this report, the identities of the Sukhtbars remain unknown.
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.
