Car pileup

This one is the worst in Dubai's history

[Habtom]

There has been some horror stories on the recent accident here involving tens of cars. The one which really hit me hard was the stories of those escaping from their burning cars being hit by speeding cars on the hard shoulder moments later. Trying to save your car is one thing, trying to save somebody's life or your life is another. The scene was just horrific to watch.

For anybody driving here, the very few days when it rains or is in thick fog, you better be staying at home.

I guess that is what happens when you have a bunch of people who are not used to driving in bad weather ... going too fast.

More than 300 people were injured in the accident, which involved 60 vehicles, said Col. Osman al-Tamimi of the Abu Dhabi Police Department.

300 people were injured in a 60 vehicle accident. That's a lot of injuries, 5 per vehicle.
