Serious Accident on Moulay Rachid Street in Fes
On the evening of September 30, 2026, a severe traffic accident occurred on the renowned Moulay Rachid Street, also known as "Route de Sefrou", in Fes. The incident involved a light vehicle, marked with the number "90", driven by a woman, and a bicycle carrying an elderly man. The collision happened near the "Challenger" café and the Segelmassa library, resulting in the elderly cyclist being knocked off his bike and sustaining serious injuries, including a head wound that caused significant bleeding.
Witnesses at the scene reported that immediate assistance was provided by a nearby pharmacist, who offered first aid while waiting for the ambulance. Unfortunately, the ambulance's arrival was delayed by about an hour and a half, raising concerns among those present regarding the efficiency and timeliness of emergency services. The delay in medical assistance poses a significant risk to victims whose lives depend on rapid intervention during such emergencies.
The incident has reignited discussions about the frequent traffic accidents occurring along this busy road segment, which has seen numerous incidents in the past. Just months prior, a tragic accident in the same area claimed the life of a young woman, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced road safety measures. Local authorities are now being called upon to implement stricter regulations and enforcement to prevent further accidents and ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists alike.
In light of these ongoing safety concerns, there is a growing demand for the establishment of legal checkpoints to deter traffic violations and protect vulnerable road users. The community is eager for decisive action that will contribute to road safety and prevent future tragedies.
