On the 9th of June 2010, Liliane Atallah left her residence in Mastita, Jbeil early in the morning and headed to her work in Jounieh.
She had reached Nahr Ibrahim road when an Infiniti car going at 90 mph hit her in the back before another car who was racing with the Infiniti kicks her all the way to the other side of the road. [Original Article from LOrient LeJour]
The 45 year old woman died instantly.
The two drivers were arrested and put in jail, however they were released the next day somehow!! Today, a group of journalists (since Liliane was a journalist) gathered to protest against this nonsense and for implementing the law and giving justice to Liliane.

I don’t envy Ziad Baroud for the tons of issues he has at hand and I admire the guy for his achievements, but speeding and driving in general in my opinion are not being given the needed attention as they are crucial issues that should be resolved in a swift and efficient manner.
FYI, car accidents are the number 1 cause of death in Lebanon. [Kunhadi]
May she RIP, I hope those idiots are sent back to jail!
btw: Why are you using MPH not KM/H?
Eliedh,
Good question, maybe cause my car is in mph and i got used to it.
Car accidents are the number one cause of death in Lebanon? That is a statistic I didn’t know..I wonder..what about Lung Cancer, given the smoking habits of the Lebanese..It is such a shame that those two men are still roaming the streets..its more than a shame, its scary!
125 km/h to be exact.
get the facts right before you post nonsense.
as a matter in fact, a white Chevrolet car hit the infiniti at the rear wheel causing the infiniti to loose control at 125km/h (the rear axle snapped) and hitting liliane’s car which caused her car to spin, then the white chevrolet car hit liliane’s car causing it to fly over the concrete separator, hitting a lamp post and eventually getting on the other side of the road.
the infiniti and the chevrolet were not racing contrary to what medias anounced.
the infinti owner is charged with 25% and the chevrolet owner with 75%
and contrary to what this absurd site says, the 2 men left prison after 28 days (or 1 month)
before you post trash get your “stories” right.
