Abu Dhabi - Dubai highway horror!

Media in the United Arab Emirates reported four separate accidents, the largest involving more than 200 cars, on the highway connecting the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
The biggest wreck began in the early morning near Ghantoot, about seven kilometers (4.5 miles) from Dubai. At least 25 cars burned among the 200 that piled up as the fog and high speeds made for a deadly mixture, police said.

Six people were killed, at least 200 were injured and dozens of vehicles burned Tuesday when hundreds of cars collided on a fog-shrouded Abu Dhabi - Dubai highway.
The accident resulted in a 20-kilometer (12-mile) traffic jam that lasted for several hours.

Smaller accidents accounted for up to 100 damaged vehicles, according to media reports.

Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death in the United Arab Emirates because drivers often travel at high speeds.
