Final sentence handed to the driver involved in the ghastly Omani bus accident in Dubai

The driver of a bus that crashed in Dubai last month killing 17 passengers, was sentenced to seven years and Dh3.4 million (That's almost $1m) in blood money for the families of the victims, a court heard on Thursday.

The 53-year-old Omani driver was charged of causing the wrongful death of 17 passengers and injuring 13 others. Dubai Traffic Court ordered the driver be deported after serving his jail term, in addition to paying a Dh50,000 fine.
His license was suspended for one year.
