30-year-old man seriously injured after car plunges into Al-Saila canal in Sanaa

SANAA, May 29 (YPA) – A 30-year-old man seriously injured on Friday after his vehicle plunged into the 14 October Al-Saila canal in Al-Sabeen District, central Sanaa, according to a source in the Civil Defense Authority.

The source said rescue and ambulance teams were dispatched immediately after receiving reports of the accident, which occurred in front of the “Nujoum Al-Sham” restaurant, and immediately began rescue operations at the scene.

According to the source, the crash was caused by a loss of control due to excessive speed, causing a 2013 pickup vehicle driven by Ali Yahya Rashad Al-Issaoui to fall into the valley, where it was completely destroyed.

Civil defense teams managed to extricate the driver from the wreckage and transported him to a hospital in the capital, where he is receiving treatment.

The source also noted that the driver’s personal belongings, documents, and cash were recovered after the accident and handed over to the relevant authorities under an official report for legal procedures.
