Kabul: At least eight people died when a travel bus fell into a river in Afghanistan's  Khinjan district on Saturday, media reports said on Sunday.

The mishap reportedly left 41 others hurt.

The incident was also confirmed by local Taliban government officials, who added that the passenger bus was heading from Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to Jawzjan province in northern Afghanistan, reports Khaama Press.

The charter bus accident in the province was caused by a technical fault with the vehicle, according to Sher Ahmad Burhani, a spokesperson for the Taliban police chief in Baghlan province.

According to the Taliban security officials, the accident was primarily caused by speeding and negligent driving.
