This is so sad...

...and so scary...

9 deaths and more than 50 injuries... Those poor innocent souls...

Dubai Police said that the accident happened before 7am after a bus heading in the direction of Dubai lost control.

The bus then turned over, crashed through the central reservation barrier and into oncoming traffic on the Abu Dhabi bound carriageway.

The minivan, which was travelling towards Abu Dhabi then crashed into the overturned bus.

Lost control? What does that mean? Why don't they just tell the truth and say that the guy was probably speeding and did not drive safely in the rain....

It's so horrible...really sickening....

It is tragic. It's more tragic that the authorities don't take responsibility for the problem. Drivers are licensed by the authorities. The authorities should enforce the traffic rules and remind drivers that driving is a privilege not a right.
This problem is unique to this region and people should start demanding something be done about it. It took a film by an Australian to ban camel jockeys, who will have the courage to reveal some of the problems behind Dubai’s daily traffic tragedies?
