At least 52 people were killed after two buses and a fuel tanker collided on a major highway in Afghanistan Sunday, officials said.

Another 73 people were injured and all three vehicles burst into flames, Ghazni province governor Jawed Salangi told the Associated Press.

The two buses were carrying 125 passengers in total, Salangi said.

"With 73 survivors out of the 125, 52 people are dead," he said. The survivors had been taken to nearby hospitals, he added.

The crash occurred at about 7 a.m. on the road linking Afghan capital Kabul to the southern city of Kandahar.
