At least 35 people were killed in a bus crash in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, officials say.

Another 27 were injured after a packed bus traveling at speed in Kandahar province overturned.

Road accidents are common in Afghanistan because of a combination of poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and poor driving standards.

The crash happened about 40 kilometers east of Kandahar city in the early hours of Saturday, Afghan officials say.

Police said the driver lost control of the vehicle.
