Two bikers killed, five hurt in hit-and-run accident

Two people were killed and five others were injured in a hit-and-run accident involving a group of motorcycles in the Fayhaa neighborhood of Makkah.
Col. Talat Mansouri, director of the Makkah Traffic Department, said that a bike was hit from behind by the driver of a vehicle who fled the scene after the accident. The accident caused the bike to turn over and the driver fell to the ground.
Other motorcycles stopped and gathered around him to rescue their injured friend, but were caught off guard by another vehicle that mowed them down. This resulted in injuries to six more people.
Mansouri said that two of the bikers died following the accident, and added that the other five men were being treated at a Makkah hospital.
Ali Al-Ghamdi, spokesman for the Saudi Red Crescent in Makkah, said that at the time of the incident, "seven rescue teams were dispatched to the scene of the accident, and found that the nature of injuries among the affected people ranged from minor to serious, with some fractures of the limbs and other injuries."
He said that some of the injured were moved by the Red Crescent team to King Abdulaziz Hospital, which specializes in bone injuries.
Spokesman for Health Affairs in Makkah Abdel Wahab Shalabi said that two of the men died on their arrival in the emergency room.
