Pathetic and Horrific....AbuDhabi -- Dubai Road use to be so busy during morning hours.....
Many ppl who work in Dubai, have accomodation in Abudhabi....due to high rent in Dubai......
Abudhabi - Dubai is around 160 KM.....
The speed limit is 160Km/Hr.....so that most of them drive at the maximum speed to reach office on time....
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything: Mark Twain:
as whoami said, I too hope that whomever is hurt will be able to recover physically and emotionally.
Road accidents are worldwide - happily pile ups like this one are rare.

I hope that whomever is hurt will be able to recover physically and emotionally.
On a side note, if this was an accident in Qatar, who wants to bet that most of the posts here would be how crap Qatari driving is? Happens somewhere else, and there'll hardly be any mention of driving skills :P
