English translation of the principle

The deceased's rushing in his vehicle onto the carriageway of the public road from a side opening controlled by a malfunctioning traffic signal, when road conditions did not permit him to do so because of the passage of a bus complying with traffic rules. The deceased's vehicle colliding with it and his being injured. The judgment's conclusion that the harm did not arise directly from the bus but rather from the impact caused by the deceased's vehicle, and its denial of the status of direct actor to the bus driver. No error.
Arabic original
اندفاع المورث بسيارته إلى نهر الطريق العام من فتحة جانبية منظمة بإشارة مرورية معطلة دون أن تسمح له حالة الطريق بذلك بسبب مرور سيارة باص ملتزمة قواعد المرور. اصطدام سيارة المورث بها وإصابته. انتهاء الحكم إلى عدم حدوث الضرر من سيارة الباص مباشرة وإنما بسبب الصدمة التي أحدثتها سيارة المورث ونفي وصف المباشر عن سائق الباص. لا خطأ.
