The blast caused the death of a Bahraini female who was driving on the opposite side of the road towards Sitra.

Investigations have also revealed that the military-grade explosive was hidden inside a bag under a billboard. The blast caused the spreading of shrapnel able to penetrate bodies and metal. Metal balls were found 120 meters away from the blast area. Legal proceedings are underway to refer the case to the Public Prosecution.
