Eye-Witness 

Some students reported that they had requested the driver to avoid this route due to many accidents occurring, but the driver did not respond and ignored them. They added, the bus overturned several times because the driver was speeding, losing control and failing to stop in time.

This is not the first accident to occur on Al-Galala Road, which has seen similar tragedies in the past. The incident has prompted renewed calls for improved road infrastructure and stricter safety regulations to prevent further accidents.
