Nine individuals were injured in the accident, including six teachers, students, and the drivers of the two vehicles, with injuries ranging from moderate to severe.
The spokesperson for the Red Crescent in Al-Baha, Imad Al-Mansi, revealed that an emergency call was received at 7:13 AM reporting a collision in Al-Makhwah specifically in Al-Jawwah. Immediately, four emergency response teams from the Red Crescent were dispatched along with a field commander, as well as two ambulance teams from the health sector.
Upon the arrival of the first emergency team at the accident site, it was confirmed that there were nine injuries that were managed according to established emergency protocols. There were five moderate injuries, three minor injuries, and one severe injury, all of whom were transported to Al-Makhwah General Hospital.
