Former Kuwaiti footballer Sameer Saeed passed away Sunday evening from injuries sustained from a car accident. Saeed was hospitalized in a critical condition after he was hit by a speeding vehicle in Nuwaiseeb. He was diagnosed with brain and liver hemorrhages, and compound fractures at Adan Hospital where he was admitted late Thursday night. His condition was reported unstable. Many supporters and officials gathered at the hospital when they heard the news of the accident and offered to donate blood.

The former national team goalkeeper was reportedly jogging with a friend when he was hit by a speeding vehicle. Paramedics recognized Saeed on the scene before he was taken in an ambulance. The speeding driver reportedly turned himself in to the police and is in custody for further investigation.

Saeed played in the Kuwait national team from 1984 to 1992; his last game played was in the Gulf Cup 1992, when he himself scored four goals.
