The young teenager was on a trip with her family at the time of the tragedy. An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the accident.
She just wanted to enjoy her vacation. On Wednesday, July 22, Yasmin, a 13-year-old girl from Belgium, tragically died in a quad accident after falling from a cliff in the coastal city of Nador, Morocco. She had been there to spend her holidays with her family.
On Wednesday, she set out for a week-long excursion with her aunt, cousin, and others, according to Belgian media source HLN. During the trip, she was approached by a young man on a quad who wanted to take a photo with the vehicle. A family member of Yasmin explained that the driver, whom she did not know, offered her a short ride. After some hesitation and an initial refusal, Yasmin eventually decided to give in, as reported by our colleagues.
Ongoing Investigation
According to information from our colleagues, the driver likely lost control of the vehicle, causing the quad to plunge off the cliffs and land in the sea. Despite the arrival of emergency services, Yasmin had already succumbed to her injuries. A family acquaintance stated to HLN, “It’s completely unreal. So young. Her life was just beginning, and it was taken from her so violently.”
The driver was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and an investigation is ongoing to establish the exact circumstances of the accident. Yasmin’s family is asking for prayers for the young girl and is calling for calm so that the investigation can proceed smoothly.
According to local media, this tragic accident highlights issues related to quad rentals in tourist areas, as noted by our colleagues.
