“A Saudi woman was killed in a car crash in the capital on Thursday as she defied the kingdom’s long-standing ban on female driving, local media reported.

“The woman, in her 20s, lost control of her vehicle and crashed into the wall of a youth club in Riyadh, according to the website of the local Al-Jazeera daily.

“The car caught fire and she died, it said.
