A dramatic scene of a car balanced atop a tree along Kuwait’s Sixth Ring Road triggered a major emergency response after alarmed motorists reported what appeared to be a horrific accident. The operations rooms of the Ministry of Interior, traffic police, and the General Fire Force were activated, dispatching security patrols and fire teams from the Al-Istiqlal station to the location. Upon arrival, responders found a vehicle precariously placed on a tree—a sight reminiscent of the classic 1970s Arabic film “My Father Is Up a Tree.”
Officials quickly determined the scene was staged. Investigators noted no skid marks, vehicle debris, or signs of a crash on the road or surrounding soil, concluding the car had been deliberately lifted and positioned. A security source told Al-Jarida that a television crew filming a Ramadan series had placed the vehicle for a scene and left it without notifying any authorities. This omission caused significant public alarm and wasted emergency resources.
The General Fire Force has prepared a detailed report condemning the crew’s actions as irresponsible and dangerous. A fire department source emphasized that leaving a vehicle in such an unstable position posed risks not only to passing traffic but also to the filming team itself, which disregarded safety considerations related to distance, weight, and potential falling hazards.
Security services are now summoning the series’ production team for questioning. Authorities stress that such stunts without prior coordination are illegal and can divert critical emergency resources from actual life-threatening situations. The incident highlights tightened oversight on film shoots in public spaces to prevent similar disruptions and ensure public safety.
