The High Criminal Court sentenced a 38-year-old Asian man to one year in prison and ordered his deportation after serving the sentence for causing a fatal traffic accident that killed an Arab woman and injured her young child.
The incident occurred on November 30, 2025, when the defendant hit a woman who was crossing the road while pushing a baby stroller, resulting in her death and injuries to her child, who is under two years old.
The Public Prosecution charged the defendant with causing the accident due to negligence and failure to exercise proper care while driving, which endangered the lives of pedestrians and caused damage to property.
Investigations showed that the victim, a 26-year-old woman, was crossing the street at a pedestrian crossing when the defendant’s vehicle struck her and the stroller.
She sustained severe head injuries and died while being transported to the hospital. The child suffered minor injuries and was treated and discharged.
Medical and forensic reports confirmed that the death resulted from traffic-related injuries, with no criminal suspicion involved.
