The officer, who serves in the traffic division of the Hay Hassani district in Casablanca, was seriously injured in a deliberate traffic incident. The incident occurred after a driver refused to comply with a stop signal at a red light.

According to a statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the Casablanca Police Prefecture and relevant central departments have been tasked with providing necessary support to the injured officer, including covering medical and treatment expenses.

The officer, performing his duties at a traffic intersection in the Hay Hassani neighborhood, sustained severe injuries, including a skull fracture and multiple fractures to his limbs and chest. He was immediately taken to the intensive care unit.
