In a devastating accident in Kuwait, two lives were lost and two individuals sustained injuries, as reported by the Ministry of Interior of the Gulf country. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday and involved a two-way collision that led to immediate hospitalization of the four involved.
During the subsequent investigation, it was revealed that the driver and passenger of one vehicle were under the influence of intoxicating substances, in addition to speeding and running a red light, which ultimately caused the accident. Compounding the situation, the vehicle’s insurance was found to be expired.
As a result of these grave circumstances, the authorities have detained the driver for ten days, as they prepare to bring her to court. The passenger accompanying her has also been detained, but for a four-day period. The driver specifically faces ten charges, including manslaughter, accidental injury, and driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. Other charges include violations such as exceeding the speed limit, running a red light, reckless driving, and driving without valid insurance or a vehicle license. The incident also resulted in damage to others’ property and public property.
To investigate the matter thoroughly, a dedicated committee has been established to conduct further checks into the incident. The Ministry of Interior has confirmed that the committee promptly initiated their work and aims to deliver a final report within a week.
