It was only a few days back when a horrific car accident took place at the Khalifa Al Attiyah intersection, when an over-speeding car broke the rails and fell down 10M to the February 22 Street below.

The car fell on top of another vehicle, leading to the death of a four-year-old girl and injury to her parents as well as her six-year-old brother. Investigation into the matter by relevant Qatari authorities is ongoing.

The case has also been transferred to Public Prosecution, reported The Peninsula.

“The reason behind the accident was jumping the red signal, after which it was hit by another car. Due to the collision, the car broke the barrier and fell down from the bridge,” said a source at the General Directorate of Traffic.

The source said that everything related to the accident, including strength of barrier and why it could not withstand the impact, will be thoroughly investigated in collaboration with Ashghal.

If there were any issues with the quality of the barrier, then the concerned authority would also be invited to the Prosecution.

“In my opinion, the barrier was strong but due to the speed of the collision, the car fell down after breaking it. Also we should know that all traffic accidents which cause damage of more than QR10,000 are transferred directly to the Public Prosecution,” the source said.
