Three people died as bus overturned

Three people died and four were injured on Friday (July 10, 2015) when their bus overturned on Al Khor Road. The bus of a private company was on way from Al Khor to Doha, Al Raya reports. The accident occurred at Lusail race track around 4.30pm when the driver reportedly lost control after a tyre burst. Faza and Al Shamal police patrols arrived at the scene, sent the bodies to the mortuary and injured to hospital. Al Dayen police is investigating the cause of the accident. The Peninsula

 

It's too sad to know that there are lives that are wasted due to the accident that happened...As I recalled that there are lots of cases that happened in that road towards Al-khor and the cause is almost the same like the incident. Maybe drivers should be given a brief seminar about safety precautions to avoid tire bursting because it's maybe due to the weather condition the country has. So drivers must check thoroughly the tires before it runs on the road.

 

They should always check the vehicle before hitting the road especially if it's gonna be a long trip. The bus overturned when a tyre bursted maybe because it ran fast enough. The accident happened 4:30 in the afternoon where the heat subsided already, maybe a tyre was old already and needed to be replaced.

 

The authorities inspecting the vehicles on yearly basis at the time of Vehicle registration, should inspect car tires and advise replacement, hope by doing this many expats life may be saved. On the roads these days minivans are driving at high speed putting all life at risk. This is normal sight at all times at highways, salwa road especially.
