Al-khaled: No One Is Above The Law

Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled, Minister of Interior and First Deputy Prime Minister, has emphasised that the law applies to everyone without exception or bias, and that no one is immune to the law.

In his visit to offer condolences to the young man who tragically died in the accident involving two four-wheel drives, Al-Khaled said, "Anyone who believes that they are out of the reach of the law, regardless of their status or position, is deluding himself/herself," according to Al-Jarida.

In addition, he emphasized that the investigation into the recent accident case is underway, and that legal procedures will be followed in accordance with the law. The investigation authorities continue to meticulously examine the details of the incident, which will eventually be subjected to the scrutiny of the impartial judiciary — the ultimate arbiter.

Al-Jarida newspaper reports that the Ministry of Interior's Operations Room received a report about the accident at dawn the previous day regarding a collision between two four-wheel vehicles on Al-Soor Street, near the First Ring.

Among the vehicles, one was driven by a female citizen accompanied by another person, and the other by a citizen with three other passengers. Immediate action was taken upon receiving the report; traffic officers from the Capital Governorate Traffic Department, along with police patrols and the city fire station, promptly arrived at the scene.

When the traffic officers arrived, they discovered six individuals had been injured in the accident. The injured were extracted from the wreckage by firefighters and then transferred to Al-Amiri Hospital using emergency medical ambulances.

Unfortunately, two of the injured individuals, who were part of a group of four young citizens in one of the vehicles, succumbed to their injuries upon arrival at the hospital.

According to the source, officials from the General Department of Criminal Evidence were dispatched to the hospital to supervise the transfer of the deceased's bodies.

A police investigation into the accident was launched simultaneously by the Investigation Department of the Salhiya Police Station. Their investigation involved examining the scene, the vehicles, and the circumstances surrounding the collision. A case titled “collision, injury, and death” was formally registered, leading to the detention of the female driver of the other involved vehicle. The detention is pending an inquiry aimed at verifying certain evidence in connection with the case.

Additionally, the investigation department requested footage from traffic monitoring and control cameras positioned at the intersection be reviewed by the GTD Traffic Operations Division. This step aims to identify the vehicle responsible for triggering the accident.
