 A Saudi student on a scholarship in the United States died after his friend from the same Gulf country knocked him over by his car while joking with him.

Mohammed Al Badi was rushed to hospital in the US state of Tennessee but died two hours later, the Saudi Arabic daily newspaper ‘Okaz’ said.

“His friend was trying to joke with him when he chased Mohammed by his car…the friend suffered from a nervous breakdown after learning about Mohammed’s death,” the paper said without making clear if the driver was arrested
