Photos: Horrific accident on Doha-Al Khor road
By Qatar Living •
Traffic flow was affected for about an hour after two vehicles got involved in an accident on the Al Khor road last night.
We are not sure whether the drivers involved were seriously injured. However, ambulance and medical staff was at the scene of the incident.
The accident happened around 6.55 p.m. according to a witness.
It looks like the Porsche SUV hit the pick-up truck from behind. According to the Qatar Traffic law, the Porsche will be at fault as it hit the pick-up regardless of the circumstances.
Drive safe, QLers!
Does anyone know more about this incident?

11 PM FRIDAY NIGHT SAFETY TRUCK ...!! IS NOT THAT EARLY FOR MAINTENANCE JOB AT 120 HI WAY..!!
FEELING SORRY FOR THEM ALL,... AND HOPE THEY ARE OK ...
I felt this shamal road is danger..because,
this road speed limit is 120Kmh and some places has 80Kmh, where the flay over work progressing.
normally people will slow down their vehicle except, regular drivers and they know well where is no radar or camera exist...these people continue drive in 120Kmh speed...
other will become in confuse..
so, i suggest there should have enough traffic control on these area..
the car was driven by a qatari women this happened at around 11 pm in the night the speeding porsche hit a safety truck which had take diversion arrow flashing. the car hit the back of truck and there was 2 guys sitting in the car as the car rolled 3 times and 1 person name linto from kerala india died on the spot the other was seriously injured and admitted to hospital. they person died is brother of my company staff
Some Qatari women driving expensive vehicles are very arrogant and rude and behave like spoiltbrats.
Most of the accident happening because of very simple, silly mistakes and carelessness
Unwanted mobile phone using while driving, etc,
Traffic department need to do some strict action,
Driving school give proper driving lessons,
Drivers must follow road traffic law and respect other drives
this is not enough for all the careless drivers,..remember No one knows till when or what time's the accident & taking lives are coming to your life..be advice just pray and keep safe allah kareem!!!
Just hope and pray there were no loss of life or serious injuries. Cars can be replaced; human beings cannot.
quite likely a case of speeding rich manager expat late for dinner vs careless poor drewal expat late for overloaded delivery....
Wow that looks really bad, but I must admit Porsche is indeed tough and safe.. Can't imagine what it would be like had it been a Japanese or Korean car.
Salamat small cars or big cars doesnt matter all should know how to drive not like our friends who keep standing and are scared to cross roundabouts shaking their heads like coconuts frustrating others n rest of world keeps honking on them but they r coconuts with no water inside dry coconut..
This happens when people driving 60 kph suddenly pull into the fast lane. These pick ups are the most dangerous drivers on the road because they create a huge speed difference between lanes and do not have the discipline to look behind before turning into a lane.
Qatar achieved many things, but the drivers still undisciplined in the roads. Especially expensive car owners feel that it is their right to drive in the roads and other small cars are dirty creatures and they have to give way to them, even in 3rd and 4th line also. Slow line also they will come and flash light to clear way. To where?
Even you have the most expensive cars in the world nothing will save you from accident if you don have proper discipline and minding others driver in the road.
Keep safe everyone!!
