Student protesters passionately say they will continue until administrators meet demands that include permanent ceasefire in Gaza
A tragic accident in Kuwait resulted in two deaths and two injuries, according to the Ministry of Interior of the Gulf country.
The two-way collision occurred at 3.17am on Thursday, according to a statement by the ministry. The four involved in the accident were immediately transferred to a hospital, where the two injured underwent treatment.
Local media reports say that the driver is a 'fashionista' who has a substantial social media following. They also say that the social media star was under the influence of drugs, although this has not been confirmed by the ministry.
The statement says that it was discovered that the injured driver and passenger were under the influence of "intoxicating substances", speeding and skipping a red light, causing the accident. The insurance of the vehicle she was driving was expired as well.
There are 10 charges levelled against the accused, according to reports - manslaughter, accidental injury, driving a vehicle under the influence of alcoholic beverages or narcotics, exceeding the prescribed speed limit, exceeding the red light, driving a vehicle recklessly, driving a vehicle with invalid insurance, driving a vehicle without carrying a vehicle licence, causing damage to the property of others, and damage to public property.
An investigation committee has been formed to carry out further checks into the incident. The Ministry of Interior said on X that the committee started its work immediately and would provide a final report within a week.
