Appeal Set in Fatal Highway Crash Case

Appeal Set in Fatal Highway Crash Case centers on a court review involving a driver sentenced to two years in prison for a crash that killed one person and injured another. The Fifth High Criminal Appeals Court in Bahrain scheduled the appeal hearing for August 5. Prosecutors said the defendant was driving a company vehicle on Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Highway near Saar when the accident occurred on May 4, 2026. They alleged the driver failed to slow down, stop, or change lanes after a broken-down vehicle had stopped in the emergency lane and a tow truck driver arrived to assist. The collision struck both men, killing one later from injuries while the other was injured, and it also damaged the company vehicle.
