A Saudi man and his family suffered from medium injuries when their car overturned in the Gulf Kingdom and police believe the accident could have been caused by magic, press reports said on Friday.

Police checking the damaged car found pieces of human nails and hair tied to each other and wrapped in a handkerchief, which was concealed under one seat, Ajel daily said in a report from the northwestern town of Hail.

“Security officials believe the accident was caused by magic after finding those items in the car…the maid was with the family when the accident occurred but it was not immediately known if she was involved in the magic work.”

    Not sure if serious, or just stupid.

    Maybe someone intended to kill them by cursing their car, but that same person had to also cause some actual damage to the car to have caused the accident. Magic as the cause just doesn't cut it. It was either a driver's fault, the manufacturer's fault, a saboteur, or freak accident. You can't curse a car into crashing.

    What. Just... what. I thought this was the 21st century, not the 11th.
