A silver Nissan Maxima is seen split in two after hitting a palm tree on King Abdul Aziz Road, north of Buraidah, Thursday. The driver, whose body is wrapped in a blue plastic bag lying next to the further half of the car, was believed to have been going at a “crazy” speed when he veered off the road, police said. Last year, 6,458 people were killed and 36,846 injured in 485,931 road accidents across the Kingdom. The average cost of treatment in the intensive care unit at a government hospital of each person injured in a traffic accident is SR120,000 ($33,000), Muhammad Bakhas, director of the emergency room at King Fahd Hospital in Jeddah, was quoted as saying. An Aramco official said that the money spent on the treatment of the people injured every year in traffic accidents is enough to construct three oil refineries, Bakhas added. ­ Okaz photo by Bandar Al-Ahmmar.
