Wow, pretty insane

Horrific accident on Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway

Abu Dhabi: At least three people were killed and nearly 350 injured in a horrific 60 vehicle pile-up on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway near Ghantoot on Tuesday.

holy crap....that's huge, so many people involved how the hell did so many people manage to all run up the back up each other sure, visibility was poor, but you'd assume at least someone would think to hold back more...

sheeeiiitt

Wow :| I guess they don't have the rule of keeping a safe distance over there?
Crazy countries!

nice job

:(
so many camry's destroyed

The diagram in that article is freaky. The 'accident site' spans the equivalent of an outer suburban highway block!

so many camry's destroyed

Mines almost as banged up as a few of those! lol

you know whats even funnier than that is 350 / 60 = average of 5.8 people per car
I'm just picturing 60 cars all smashed together and people just piling out of them like clown cars

sucks to be working at the Abba Daba RACQ call centre huh

I spent 8 months in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. I don't know if things have changed, but when I was there, was long as you had a seat belt on you could pretty much go as fast as you wanted...I hated driving there. People take insane risks.

Why would they have a royal car club of Queensland branch in Dubai?

they have Qantas overseas

i bet it was caused by some towel head surfing outside the car on his sandals

awww he didnt slam the door on his hand at the end :(

Shaikh Rashid Hospital in Dubai sent a team comprising of two doctors and two nurses along with equipments were dispatched to the scene

hmm I guess thats becasue they were only indians/pakistanis/asians

Drivers weren't leaving a safe distance between cars and this resulted in everyone hitting each other after the first crash."

Office, I left plenty of distance but just couldn't stop in time!
