A Saudi prisoner in Jordan and four others, including two Jordanian policemen, died in a road accident involving a security vehicle in Amman on Sunday, sabq.org reported Monday.
The accident took place while the security officers were transporting the Saudi prisoner to the civilian court for trial. Thirteen people were injured in the accident that took place on Yaduda road, near the zoo.
The report said five vehicles were involved in the crash as the driver of a truck coming from the opposite direction lost control and collided with four vehicles.
Jordanian police said they have launched an investigation into the accident and the case would be sent to court.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry has cautioned Saudis traveling to Jordan against possible fraudsters. “We have learned from the Saudi Embassy in Amman that many Saudis, especially businessmen, have been subjected to fraud and cheating in Jordan,” it said.
The embassy has advised Saudis to inform it before concluding any business deals, adding that it would provide them with free legal advice.
