Never get into an accident in Saudi. It might just mean the end of your life.

A Saudi man, identified by the name of Mutannish has been sentenced to death for causing two onlookers to die during a driving demonstration at Hagwalah. During the show, two were killed when a person in the audience wa shit and fell onto another. The drive sped off, failing to provide assistance.

A report says that the Kingdom treats such incidents as criminally negligent homicide. While in other places, it's mostly jail time for vehicular manslaughter, in Saudi, it's death by beheading.

The other man's death sentence was 'reduced' to 3,000 lashes, 20 years in prison and a lifetime driving ban.
