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

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....

Whoami, I for one would not be able to comment on driving skills there, as i have never been there.

Although, I have heard from friends who live there, that they are rather similar to the ones seen in Qatar.

 

I wish those who are injured a speedy recovery and those who have lost loved ones strength and my heartfelt prayers.
