In those driving to or from Abu Dhabi were told to watch out for heavy fog again, especially around the area where a massive car-pile-up took place on Saturday morning.

One person died, 61 were injured of them nine critical.

More than a dozen vehicles were burnt and traffic stalled for over five hours.

Drivers were asked to go slow this morning, and use lights in the fog.
