Two citizens, including a Sukhtbar, were killed and injured in a collision between two vehicles in Saravan.
According to Kolbarnews, on Saturday, May 25, 2024, a Nissan pickup truck carrying fuel collided with a passing Pride car in the Bam-Pusht area of Saravan County.
The driver of the Pride car succumbed to his injuries, while the driver of the fuel-carrying “Sukhtbari” vehicle was injured.
The deceased citizen has been identified as Abdulrab Khoshbakht, a married man with children, and a resident of Rudkan village in Saravan County.
The identity of the injured Sukhtbar remains unknown at the time of this report.
Local sources reported: “Yesterday in the Bam-Pusht area, a collision between a Nissan pickup truck carrying fuel and a Pride car resulted in the death of the Pride car driver and the injury of the Sukhtbar driver.”
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have resorted to out of lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturning, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars in this profession. According to reports from Baloch activists in 2023, at least 172 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, and 42 others were injured in these incidents, including 11 children
