In the Giza neighborhood, on the al-Abyad road, a violent road accident shook the local community. A collision between a trailer truck and two bicycles resulted in the death of four young people under the age of 17, while a fifth passerby was injured.
The security authorities of the Giza governorate acted quickly, arresting the driver accused of this tragic accident. He was brought before the public prosecutor to answer for his actions.
The Egyptian public prosecutor took the decision to detain the driver for a period of four days, while the necessary investigations are carried out. He is accused of causing the death of four students – the oldest of them under the age of 17 – by accidentally hitting them, as well as seriously injuring their fifth friend.
To establish the exact circumstances of the accident, the public prosecutor requested a drug test for the alleged driver. The issue is whether he was under the influence of intoxicants at the time of the incident.
Furthermore, the prosecution has authorized the burial of the victims after finding, during the autopsy, that the deaths were due to fractures, abrasions and contusions on various parts of the body.
This tragic event highlights once again the importance of caution and compliance with road safety rules. It also reminds us how crucial it is for all drivers to demonstrate responsibility and vigilance on the roads to avoid such tragedies.
This accident reminds us of the fragility of life and the importance of road safety to protect our fellow citizens, especially the youngest. Let us hope that lessons will be learned from this tragedy to prevent future accidents and ensure the safety of all on our roads.
