Five Qataris and a Saudi die in accident
Six people, including five Qatari nationals and a Saudi, died in a road accident near Raudat Al Rashid here yesterday.
The tragic mishap actually took place a little after 12 midnight on Thursday.
The victims were travelling in a car which collided with a trailer, police sources in Al Shananiya , in whose jurisdiction Raudat Rashid area falls, told The Peninsula.
Five people died on the spot while the sixth one succumbed to his injuries when he was being taken to the Emergency Unit of Hamad Medical Corporation.
The police sources didn’t give further details about the accident such as the type of the vehicle the victims were travelling in and whether the trailer was coming in from the opposite direction or moving in the same direction as the car of the victims.
The mishap took place when the car of the victims took turn in the Khasara area at 12.20am (Friday).
To recall, just almost seven to eight hours earlier, six people, all of them construction workers died in a tragic road accident in Lusail.

MN, spot on. In fact, most of the people claiming to be Qataris here are trolls......no point in arguing with them....
sun26872: Every Tom Dick and Harry can create a fake QL account and claim they’re Qatari.
'Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return'.
Nobody is happy here that 6 people have lost their lives. In fact, my full sympathies are with those children and their bereaved parents. However, I do wish some Qataris like you show equal aggression against those locals who find it funny to run their LCs over Indians & Nepalis and joke about it on the QL.
Allahu Must3aan, what a trial indeed. I can't even begin to imagine how painful this must be for you and your brother. Truly may Allah grant His utmost Mercy on the deceased young brothers and May they enter paradise..Aameen.
Yes people can be extremely harsh in their assumptions. Not only are they quick to tar everyone with the same brush, they would even go as far as celebrating another's tragedy simply because they assumed they must be at fault..Audubillah!
keep talking you think no one is watching one day you will say too much and you will be out of here.
did not know how much the residence of Qatar hate Qatari you hear the news of 6kids dyeing in car accident and you think good no one told them to speed did you even bother to read the hole story no those kids who died are personal friends of my brother and they were in my house before they died they were not speeding if you have seeing the pictures of the accident you would know whose felt is it the truck was in the wrong side and the truck was speeding which all trucks do in rawidt riashd road the road is death trip I can’t believe you ppl come to my country take our money live here get everything and don’t do a good job and then complain you don’t like it go back to you country yes isaidit
RIP
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Everybody has got their own perspective. In many countries, getting killed due to rash driving will be called stupidity. In my country, it will be called destiny. In countries like Qatar & Saudi, it will be called bravery. I have read many posts from natives that how proud they are of rash driving and killing Indians & Nepalis crossing the road.........God's job must be very difficult blessing the souls of each one dying because of their stupidity, destiny or bravery.
Allah has designed this world and he is the owner of every things in it. He gives and takes things as per his design and we are helpless. He has given us a total month in a year to realize his presence and bounties for the love he has towards us, still we dont believe him and his greatness and always end up doing things of our interests and call it freedom/of speech.
FJ well said & true
Helene wake up dear, you are in allah's world, look around things and at yourselves. Law/rules are being made from years, centuries and millenniums, but man has still to transform after being in this world over million years.
May they rest in peace.
Please, please be very careful driving out there..
Is that a real test? surely there be more to that!!
I support ur opinion Helen. Do u know that, many local people gets the driving license by starting the engine, goes forward 50 meters and press the break. That's it. That's the test they have to give.
They are idiots...end of!
I find it so very hard to understand the claim "destiny" with these tragic & totally preventable accidents causing death. Not to mention the children running riot around cars totally free to be severely injured.
A Qatari told me that many locals learn to drive in the desert - and have never have had any proper training! Until the powers-that-be realise how very dangerous this practice is and instigate some strict rules for testing to make sure drivers know how to drive safely, then many people will continue to die.
I do understand the religious significance of "destiny" however I don't understand why the people left behind have to suffer because of people driving carelessly and unsafely.
May Allah grant mercy upon their souls and May Allah give their family the strength to bear the loss.
May their soul's rest in peace.I think accident within Qatar boils down to indiscipline by lot of Qatari kids, they drive as if they are on drugs and still have the guts to harass who ever question their insolence.....May Allah give their family the strength to bear the loss....But the proactive measures should be taken by letting the young drivers understand they owe themselves,family,friends and pedestrian their safety and has to behave responsible when it come to driving....And the law enforcement agent should do more than the camera surveillance on the road.....Surveillance police vehicle should be on strategic highway to curb over speeding...
Even a strict law won't the DESTINY!!!
Here we go again. Returning from Iftar tonight, I noticed similar grazy drivers on the road. This accident will not change anything. Strict law enforcement is required.
Very very sad and extremely scary. So many lives lost in such a short space of time. Allahu Must3aan. This Ramadhan will be one of great sadness and trials to all the loved ones of those perished and may God have mercy on them!
Sorry to hear the tragic news. May their soul rest in peace and may allah be with them and their families.
Its a lesson for rest of the fast cruising drivers.
