A tragic accident took place in Al Khawaneej area on Tuesday evening that shook the community.

A man and a woman passed away after their sports car fell off the Etihad Mall bridge.

They were going at a very high speed and the driver lost control of the car, causing it to veer off and fall from the top of the bridge. “As the car approached the bridge’s curve, it skidded, collided with the curb, mounted the concrete barrier, and fell from the bridge to the street below,” Police said.⁠ “Due to the excessive speed, the car continued in the opposite direction on the lower street until it came to rest on the median strip, where it caught fire, resulting in the deaths of the driver and a woman accompanying him,” Police explained.
