This is more like a bus accident than a traffic accident, which implies numerous vehicles, rather one loaded vehicle colliding with an all but immovable object.

I've driven in the UAE before (next door to Saudi) and they drive like absolute maniacs.Given that the two people are pretty much cousins it seems likely that Saudis do too.

Back in the bad ol days I used to drive in the Eastern Province. The road from Dammam north to some the furthest oil camps was littered with cars..both sides of the road. New expensive models....thousands mile after mile just left to ror.

That’s got to be hard on the wheel bearings, not to mention the tires.
