A Tragic Accident... A Reckless Truck Driver Caused a Disaster After Fleeing the Scene... 5 Victims and a Young Man Killed!

The city of Casablanca—specifically on Al-Tariq Al-Jadida near the Lissasfa security checkpoint (Barrage) in the Al-Hassani neighborhood—was the scene of a horrific traffic accident caused by a truck driver (container truck) who was driving recklessly and was heavily intoxicated. The driver attempted to evade security checkpoints after coming from the Anfa area, bypassing the security barriers and crashing with great force into a passenger car, which was completely crushed, as well as colliding with motorcycles and bystanders at the scene, prompting an intensive security mobilization and the intervention of authorities and civil defense.

This tragic incident resulted in a heavy toll: five victims, including a 28-year-old man who died instantly from his severe injuries, while four others were transported in critical condition to the hospital for emergency treatment. Security forces arrested the intoxicated truck driver and launched a judicial investigation under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office to uncover all the circumstances surrounding the accident, amid a wave of grief and calls for harsher penalties against drivers who recklessly endanger the lives of citizens.
