Horrible DayThursday, March 20, 2008 @ 10:00 PM
I would like to let the photos below to show you how horrible day was in that day. Horrific accident happened on Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway near Ghantoot.
While I was going to my work . I had escaped from this horrible accident . The visibility was poor . so I tried to keep driving behind one of the car who was using
fog light and his speed was around 60 km/h. suddenly that car lost the control and was moving zig zag on the road. Another speedy car came fast and hit the uncontrolled car and all the mess happened in front of me as I was
watching Die Hard movie . I slowed down and I tried to have my car outside of the main road to avoid any hit from back side. After that I looked around me and I found five cars in main road were crashed. After that I returned home , I was unable to reach my work because the police had closed the high way.
Next day I read in the newspaper that 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. Thank god i was just saved.
I believe that the main reasons of what happened were lack of attention by drivers, using hazard lights instead of fog lights, unsafe distance and driving fast . Please always try to drive better :)
