A police officer has died in Kazakhstan after a crash on the Astana to Petropavlovsk highway.
His service car was escorting road machinery when a JAC T9 pickup hit it, ZHEST_KZ reports. The officer was airlifted to the capital with severe injuries, including a fractured skull, and did not survive.
Why it matters: escort duty on Kazakhstan's long intercity highways is dangerous work, and the crash is a reminder of how fast a routine shift can turn fatal.
