5 more deaths in One Morning

I returned to Dubai yesterday morning after 2 days in England. I arrived at Dubai International Airport, went through all regular procedures. Collected case and headed for the taxi.
And within 2 minutes of leaving the airport I witnessed the most horrific scene. A crash involving a mini van and several cars. There was nothing left of the mini van, it was crushed like a softdrink can. And then we passed a terrible sight. half a dozen mortuary vans were lined up one after the other. 5 of them were now being loaded with 5 dead bodies. It was a horrible thing to see and was a real wake up call.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those victims.

Safety- guarenteed none of those victims were wearing any kind of seat belt.

The van was allegedly speeding- why? why? why?

I saw this through the eyes of a tourist to Dubai.


What can be done to reduce the number of the deaths on the roads of Dubai. ??
