Three Saudi Arabian teenagers burned to death after their car rammed into an electric post on King Street in the port city of Jeddah earlier this week. According to a Civil Defense Department source, it was difficult to identify the charred bodies, Arab News reported Thursday.  

 

The impact caused the fire, the source said, and added that fire fighters quickly put out the fire and extricated the bodies from the enormous wreckage. “Passerby did not try to save the youths trapped inside because of the intensity of the fire,” he said.  

 

The source identified the three, aged between 16 and 17, as Maher Talaat Othman Al-Nueman, Ashraf and Akram Hasan Ali Khedhr. (Albawaba.com)
