If a person runs someone over with his car and the person dies, is this considered accidental killing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If a person is driving his car in the street and then a person falls onto his car.

Answer : Yes, this may be accidental, or it may be a waste of life, because the pedestrian comes up and the driver of the car is unaware of him, and then he throws himself in front of the car in a situation where the driver is unable to stop the car, and his walking or movement is customary, so it is he who threw himself to his death.
