Thirteen Yemenis, all from the same family, were inside a GMC van when it crashed behind a truck at high speed.
The impact caused the vehicle to veer off the road, scattering bod- ies everywhere.
Emergency services arrived at the scene of the accident and freed those still trapped inside the vehicle.
The injured were taken to Al-Himna General Hospital, while critical cases were immediately transferred to King Fahd Hospital in Madinah.
