One of the car drivers at the Dayrut parking lot confirmed that the car fell for no reason while it was stopping to load passengers, confirming that the dirt under the car’s wheels fell and pulled the car backwards, so it fell into the canal water while carrying a number of passengers on board.
The drivers continued that the driver was not at fault for the car falling into the canal, pointing out that the driver was outside the car when it fell.
