In an ironical incident, a woman who had actively protested the driving ban on female motorists in Saudi Arabia has died in a car crash.

While one woman was instantly killed, the other one survived with injuries and is being treated in the hospital, said the police.

"One woman was immediately killed and her companion who was driving the car was hospitalised after she suffered several injuries," police spokesman Abdulaziz al-Zunaidi told AFP.

The fatal accident happened when their car overturned as they were driving through the northern Hael province on Saturday evening.
