According to media reports, on July 24 in the Matchin district of the Sughd region, at least 7 people died as a result of a traffic accident.

It is reported that as a result of the accident, which occurred at the entrance to the Matchin district, at least 7 residents of the area died, two of whom were minors.

In connection with the incident, a representative of the executive body of state power in the Matchin district stated that “five of them were members of one family – residents of the Fotekhobod rural community.”

According to him, on the morning of July 24, they set off to Khujand to meet their son, who had returned from labor migration.

“After meeting the migrant, the head of the family and other family members set off in their car towards the Matchin district. At the entrance to the district, a taxi traveling towards Oybek – Dushanbe collided with their vehicle,” which was the cause of the tragedy with numerous casualties, the official noted.

Most fatal traffic accidents occur on the roads of Tajikistan due to violations of traffic rules. However, the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet made an official statement regarding this incident.
