A driver, whose tyre burst and caused a deadly accident, has been fined QR270,000
It is always a good idea to ensure that the tyres of your car are in good condition.
A man, who failed to check the quality of his car’s tyres, caused an accident when it burst while driving at the Al Shamal Highway. The accident led to the death of one person and caused injury to others.
The Court of First Instance punished the man for his negligence and ordered him to pay a hefty fine of QR270,000, reported The Peninsula.
The court ordered him to pay QR10,000 for the accident he was charged with, a sum of QR200,000 as blood money to the heirs of the deceased, QR30,000 as compensation to one of the injured drivers and another QR30,000 for the damage caused by the accident.
The Public Prosecution also referred the man to the criminal court on charges of causing accident, injuring passers-by and endangering the lives of people.
The accused had been driving on AL Shamal Highway towards Doha when the car’s tyre burst. He was unable to control the vehicle and it turned turtle. While the passenger sitting in the front died, four others were also injured.
That is why we should always use good quality tyres to avoid any sort of mishappening. I prefer to use Michelin tyres as they are good in every department.
It is good to be in our limits when driving.
