Twenty-six people died and fourteen were injured in an Afghan bus crash near Kabul

The 580-model coach veered off the road and rolled down a rocky embankment while on its way from Kandahar to the capital.

Local reports say the bus did not collide with another vehicle as the cause of the freak crash remains unknown.

Shocking pictures from the scene showed the mangled bus as Taliban officials and villagers scrambled to pull bodies from the wreckage and rush the wounded to hospitals. 

Deadly road disasters are nothing new for Afghanistan.

Last week in Herat province, a separate crash killed 81 people when a vehicle carrying migrants from Iran went up in flames.
