On the Rask–Sarbaz road, a Sukhtbari vehicle caught fire following a rollover accident.
According to Kolbarnews, on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, a Baloch Sukhtbar sustained minor injuries and light burns after their vehicle overturned and caught fire near Ganjabad village in the Sarbaz County region.
The identity of the injured Sukhtbar has not yet been confirmed at the time of this report.
Local sources stated that the accident occurred when the Sukhtbari vehicle overturned. Due to a fuel leak, a fire erupted, engulfing the vehicle entirely.
The driver managed to escape before the flames spread fully, suffering only superficial injuries.
Sukhtbari considered one of the unconventional and dangerous occupations that many Baloch people in Balochistan are forced to engage in due to the lack of suitable and stable employment opportunities. Accidents, vehicle overturns, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars. According to reports by Baloch activists, in 2024, at least 240 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, while 135 others were injured in these incidents, 19 of whom were children.
