Fatal Incident Involving Elderly Pedestrian
Authorities have identified both the driver and the vehicle responsible for a tragic accident that resulted in the death of 70-year-old “Si Ali.” The incident occurred early Wednesday morning as he was on his way to perform the Fajr prayer at a nearby mosque.
The driver was promptly apprehended and placed in custody as part of an investigation to uncover the details surrounding the catastrophic event.
According to reliable security sources, the incident took place approximately 25 minutes before the Fajr call to prayer on Fatima Zahra Street in the popular neighborhood of Beni Makada. The victim, known as “Si Ali,” was walking to the mosque, adhering to his daily ritual of attending congregational prayers, when he was struck by a speeding labor transport vehicle. The driver did not stop and continued fleeing toward the Cinema Tarek area, leaving the victim lifeless in the middle of the road, a sight that shocked local residents who discovered the body before dawn.
