I travel daily from home to office via mini Passenger Bus. The distance is about 15 km from home and it takes about 45 minutes to my trip. Today (24th July 2011) while coming to office I have seen a road accidents that happened between a mini passenger bus and a jeep. Both of them traveling on the same direction at King Fahad street. Off-course it was because of overspending. When I reached near Souq Bawadi exactly opposite side of Bin Dawood super market on King Fahad street the crash was just happened 5 minutes ago. Front side of jeep was terribly destroyed by the hit & the bus probably has turned upside down and then its face turned opposite side of its route and it fell on one side.

Jeep

Mini Bus

Yup... that's correct. Even in Jeddah everyday this type of accidents happen, few of them with casualties might get media attention as well. As this one was very close to me & happened when I was passing so I took a few pictures.

I just shared it for the sake of sharing :-)

I second that. I was planning to purchase a second hand vehicle when I arrived here. I decided better of that the minute I landed. I'll just use the provided transportation!
