ISLAMABAD: A judicial magistrate in Islamabad granted bail to the driver of a United States (US) Embassy in the road accident case.
Police on Monday presented the arrested driver, Amjad Zaman, before the judicial magistrate who approved his bail plea subject to the submission of a surety bond worth Rs50,000.
The defense counsel denied the charges leveled against his client saying his vehicle didn’t jump a red light.
According to police, the US Embassy vehicle broke a red light and drove into traffic on Faisal Avenue. Two cars collided head-on, leaving a woman sitting in the other car dead and causing injuries to five other people.
