The control room of the Special Task Force in Hail received an alarming call from the 22-year-old driver. He could not control the speed of the Toyota pickup, due to a technical problem to the accelerator, said the spokesman of the Hail police, Col. Abdul Aziz Al-Zenaidi, on Sunday.
Road safety patrols were alerted and the driver was told not to worry, as all obstacles on the way had been removed. After the vehicle had sped for some time, it ground to a halt as the fuel tank went empty. The driver and his passenger did not suffer any injuries, the spokesman said.
