Written by A Saudi woman who defied the country’s ban on female drivers was badly hurt in a crash on the weekend that killed her passenger.
Manal al-Sharif was hospitalized with “several injuries” Saturday after her four-wheel-drive car overturned, reports AFP. A female companion in the car died on the scene.
Al-Sharif, 32, was arrested and detained for 10 days last May after posting a YouTube video of herself at the wheel of a car. She became the face of a campaign against the ban.
