A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life, and another was injured following a collision between two Sukhtbari vehicles on the Rimdan border road.
According to Kolbarnews, on the morning of Thursday, October 16, 2025, two Sukhtbari vehicles collided head-on on the Rimdan border route, resulting in the death of one driver and severe injuries to another.
The accident occurred around 10:30 a.m., when the two vehicles collided head-on. The impact was so severe that one of the drivers died instantly, while the other was transported to a medical facility with serious injuries.
As of the time of this report, the identities of the deceased and injured Sukhtbars have not yet 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.
