Nationality does not matter at all , we all make mistakes .....................
Convict.
Of the deceased or the driver
Nationality please.
Accidents don't just happen, they are caused. Surprisingly a case as huge as this attracts no jail terms.
God Bless Qatar
Muad, Thanks for your understanding ........ as always .....
Molten: Wise words my pal .., Perhaps his in- laws called to ask for more money :(
If you could have checked the mobile call details of the guy , you will know the reason behind his MISTAKE of pressing accelerator in place a brake pedal.
Some body might be putting a kind of pressure on him .........
Great bit of reporting
Would it be safe to say that most if not all accidents could be prevented...
isn't that involuntary manslaughter...
"accidentally driving his vehicle into a shop" - Then how can it be classed as Reckless Driving
