In Saudi Arabia, eight people were killed and three others injured in an accident on Shaqeek-Darb when two cars collided head-on as a result of poor visibility caused by a dust storm, according to Arab News.  

 

Civil Defense officers in Jizan rushed to the scene and extricated the bodies from the damaged vehicles. In addition, they transported the injured to hospital for treatment. Another person died on the Beesh-Sabiya Road when his car overturned as a result of over-speeding, the newspaper reported.
