Many recalled their vibrant presence and the videos that showcased spontaneity and humor.

The details of the accident date back to December 11, 2025, when Dakhil Al-Qahtani, along with "Abu Mardaa" and their friend "Abu Hasa," were involved in a horrific car crash in the city of Hail, located in the northwest of the Kingdom. While "Abu Mardaa" died at the scene, Dakhil was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Reports indicate that Dakhil Al-Qahtani was initially admitted to King Khalid Hospital in Hail before being transferred to Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh, where intensive medical efforts were made to save him. Unfortunately, his health continued to deteriorate in the weeks that followed.

His passing has reignited mourning within the Saudi digital community, which has lost two of its most notable content creators in a brief period. This painful narrative highlights the harsh realities of traffic accidents and their profound impact on individuals and society.
