A 19-year-old Baloch Sukhtbar was injured when his vehicle overturned and caught fire on the Sarbaz–Iranshahr road.
According to Kolbarnews, on the evening of Sunday, October 26, 2025, a Sukhtbari was injured after his vehicle overturned and ignited near the Sarbaz Bridge intersection on the Sarbaz–Iranshahr highway.
The injured Baloch Sukhtbar was identified as Mohsen Shahnavazi, 19 years old, son of Safar, and a resident of the Routak area in Mirjaveh County.
Reports indicate that Mohsen’s vehicle overturned and caught fire while he was driving, and he was thrown from the vehicle, sustaining injuries and burns in the incident.
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.
