Eight Saudi men, including four from the civil defence, were injured after their cars collided while they were rushing to take a drowned man to hospital.

Four men who found the drowned man at the beach in the southern town of Al Shaqiq phoned the police before racing towards the hospital to hand over the body.

“They were driving very fast and took a wrong direction when they came face to face with the civil defence vehicle…they collided head on, resulting in severe injuries to the men and four civil defence rescuers,” Okaz daily said.
