The 25km stretch of the UAE's busiest highway from Abu Dhabi to Dubai was closed for more than five hours, resulting in huge tailbacks during rush hours. Police said among the 347 injured, six people were critical, while 39 suffered medium injuries. The remaining suffered minor injuries. Police said 25 vehicles caught fire following the accidents caused by poor visibility due to the thick fog and lack of attention by motorists. some pictures: wow... thats people should never drive when it is foggy... |

Best wishes to all those involved in that horrible pileup. R.I.P. to the 5 who met untimely deaths. And my condolences go out to the families of those 5. |

Those silly sheiks are speeding on the road although thick morning fog reduced vision. One car crashed and the others followed suit... | ||

Cars just don't explode like that unless there was a tanker truck. Looks like one leaked. This post has been edited by Maximum-D_07 on Mar 12 2008, 07:45 AM |

I don't see a tanker, but in a bad accident... gas tanks can possibly break or leak and something electrical sparks it....yeah you get that. | ||

We know that I was asking how it started. I already know about the friggin fog. I was asking how the hell the thing friggin began, and not what helped cause it. A pileup starts with one car. I was asking about that one car. This post has been edited by Meteor on Mar 14 2008, 06:24 AM | ||

Now I can't figure out how to be sarcastic in how the accident did a 60-car pile-up. |
