A father has been ordered to repay nearly BD39,000 to an insurance company after his teenage son ran a red light, crashed into a cyclist, and left him 75 per cent disabled.
The boy, who had held a driving licence for less than a year, had been driving his father’s car when the crash took place.
He drove through a red traffic signal, struck an Asian man riding a bicycle, and continued forward.
The vehicle swerved left, mounted the central reservation, and came to a stop.
The cyclist fell beside the car and sustained serious injuries. The Lower Criminal Court sentenced the driver to two months in prison and fined him BD1,000.
His driving licence was suspended for three months.
