YANBU: Five people were killed and seven others seriously injured in a three-vehicle collision late Sunday night on the Yanbu-Madinah expressway, police said yesterday.
The dead were identified as a Saudi, an Egyptian, a Pakistani and two Bangladeshis.
Five of the seven injured people are in critical condition. Col. Mansour Al-Johani, spokesman for the Civil Defense Department in Madinah province, said a pickup truck and two sedans collided near the desalination plant 40 kilometers from Madinah.
Police blamed the accident on the vehicles following each other too closely and driving at excessive speed at night.
