A Saudi man, his wife and three daughters were killed when his car rammed into a parked truck after he lost control of the vehicle because of a tyre blast. One daughter survived the accident.

The 59-year-old man was on his way to the southern town of Abha with his 50-year-old wife and four daughters aged between eight and 30 years when the accident occurred in a rugged mountainous area.

“The parents and three daughters were killed…a 15-year-old daughter suffered from serious injuries and was taken to hospital, where doctors said she was in a stable condition,” the Arabic language daily Alwatan said.
