All television platforms and electronic websites covered special artistic news about the death of the Lebanese singer George Wassouf, who passed away following a horrific car accident on the international road separating the Lebanese-Syrian borders.

The details of the accident are as follows: the Lebanese singer George Wassouf was returning from Damascus after performing a concert accompanied by his girlfriend Zeina Almarabi, who died minutes after the accident following the car colliding with the central barrier on the international road separating the two countries. The late George Wassouf was driving at high speed, which caused him to lose control of the car and collide with a rocky barrier on the road, and his car was shattered in a terrifying manner. According to statements by civil defense personnel at the Al-Masna center, George Wassouf's and the accompanying girl's bodies were pulled from inside the car and taken to the nearest hospital, but George and his girlfriend died upon arrival.
