Ohhh that was so sad. Yesterday was really very foggy.
btw stickshiftcamry is right people here drive too fast and dangerously. Road manners are so very bad here.

and this Emirates road, where this big accident happen is one of the busiest and fastest road.

Thank God there was less loss of lives but it was really a big big pile up. The road is closed now. Will open tomoroow maybe.

This could have easily happen in Dallas yesterday as well. I drove in to work and was sitting across the street from my 40 story office tower and literally could not see it was there. Freaky! It was very easy to become disoriented on the highways.

Just because everyone in that country owns a Ferrari doesn't mean they can drive 200mph and tailgate ;-)

LOL! what an idiot!

that just provides a reason for the owners to get NEW toyotas! since they last so long, this is one way to recycle 'em a little quicker than the owners otherwise would.

We don't need to, his approval ratings are already in the basement.
$4.00 gas, a recession, and never-ending wars will seal his lowly place in White House history!

Thanks for these riveting, intellectual comments. Wouldn't it be better for people to just think you're an asshole instead of opening your mouth and proving it? Douchebag.

Its funny that I live here and I 1st heard it on autospies. Been to busy lately. But you guys should see how foggy it was that morning. It was unbelievable, and with one idiot speeding, many might be involved in a single crash. Terrible sight.
