7 killed in car accident in S Iran

TEHRAN: APRIL. 6 – At least seven people were killed in a car accident in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan on Wednesday, semi-official news agency Young Journalists Club (YJC) reported.

The collision of two sedan cars left all passengers of the two cars dead, the road police from Hormozgan were quoted by YJC as saying.

Turning left by one of the cars was cited as the cause of the accident, according to the report.

Official figures show more than 20,000 people killed and 200,000 others wounded in traffic accidents annually in Iran, reportedly because of inexperienced driving and low efficiency of the cars and the roads.
