Описание: Omani death crash bus driver faces 7 years in Dubai jail

Dubai's Public Prosecutor has called for the bus driver responsible for a crash that claimed 17 lives to be jailed for seven years.

Public Prosecution-Dubai has sent the case to court demanding the Omani driver also pays three million and four hundred thousand dirhams in compensation to the families of the deceased and the 13 people injured.

The Mwasalat bus ploughed straight through a steel barrier on June 6, during a scheduled journey between Muscat in Oman and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

Speaking to Times of Oman, Ahmad bin Ali Al Bulushi, CEO of Mwasalat, said : “We remain in close contact with all relevant UAE authorities. Our own investigations are ongoing.”

Officials at Oman's Embassy in Abu Dhabi said that they are monitoring the case.
"The embassy is following up the decision of the Dubai Public Prosecution in connection with the bus accident and referring the company's driver case to the judiciary.

"The procedure was not a judgment of the competent court, as it has not yet considered the case. The embassy continues to follow up the relevant authorities in everything related to their details."

The bus crashed on Mohammad Bin Zayed road in Dubai on June 6, 2019. The victims were from Oman, India and Europe.
