Following a severe collision between two Land Cruiser Sukhtbari vehicles on the Rimdan border route, two Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives and two others were injured.
According to Kolbarnews, on Friday, December 5, 2025, a violent collision between two Land Cruiser Sukhtbari vehicles on the Rimdan border route resulted in the deaths of two Baloch Sukhtbars and injuries to two others.
One of the deceased Sukhtbars has been identified as Dushanbe Baloch, approximately 32 years old, son of Thoban, and a resident of Souldan village in Bahu Kalat District, Dashtiari County.
The second deceased Sukhtbar was also a resident of Souldan, but his identity had not been confirmed at the time of this report.
The identities of the two injured Sukhtbars have been confirmed as Aref Baloch, 26 years old, son of Faqir Mohammad, married with one child, and Mohammad Tozideh, a 15 year old child Sukhtbar, son of Razzaq Tozideh. Both are residents of Sand Bahu (Sand Noor Mohammad) in Bahu Kalat District of Dashtiari County.
According to the report, at around 8:00 a.m. today, near the village of Rimdan Kamal on the Rimdan border route, a severe collision occurred between a Land Cruiser 85 Sukhtbari vehicle and a Land Cruiser 98 Sukhtbari vehicle. Two Baloch Sukhtbars died as a result, and two others sustained fractures in the leg and neck and were transferred to the hospital.
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.
