Yesterday night on my way to the airport I saw an accident on the 5th ring road just before exit 50. The accident was still fresh since the medics were still at the scene. Turns out a bus carrying works some how rammed into the back of a truck so it was pretty messed scene with a lot of injuries. Here are two pictures I managed to take as I was passing by.
update: Here is a good video shot at the scene by Zaina [Video]

Mark… 2 days ago I was passing by one of those buses just 10 mins after it crashed.. it was on its fREAkin side!!! I wanted to take pictures but I couldnt, partly coz there were so many coppers around and then because of traffic.. was just weird..
Yea i passed by it too. I was picking something up form Qortuba. It was around 10ish right?
y dont these bus drivers have any brains???? even the kptc or city bus ppl are crazy drivers…
whenever there’s a crash and i see a dude running around with a camera like a madman i always think to myself “hmmm, could that possibly be Mark?” 😛
who called 777…. ?
i saw a similar crash only a few days ago when a bus flipped and rammed 5 cars. there were 5 ambulance cars.
“y dont these bus drivers have any brains???? even the kptc or city bus ppl are crazy drivers…”
It’s not like the drivers here in Kuwait are any better..
well ozy… car / suv / vanete drivers are psychotic ppl… but bus ppl are paid to drive safely
Ya i passed by it 2, we were coming back home in Qurtoba
there was no blood all of them lying down on the street but all of them were moving and talking to each other,, maybe the bus driver only but all the rest were fine
wtf people invading my territory not good
those bus drivers are crazy.. it really makes me wonder where did those companies get these people from..
Also, the law is that buses should only drive of the first lane (further lane on the right) but they just dont seem to get it.. u see them in the fast line in bridges and any accident could cause the bus to fly off the bridge killing many passengers..
I shot it video .. I’ll post a youtube link later

Misakeen! They give buses to people who have never driven before!
“but bus ppl are paid to drive safely”
I didn’t say otherwise.
I hate bus drivers !
walla they dont see where theyr going.
your driving and suddenly without giving a signal they will turn your side and just freak you out !! They should stick to thier lane..
S- I think your comments apply to absolutely every single driver in Kuwait.
Except me.
what if that was someone u loved, in that accident?
how would you feel if ppl surrounded the area & started snapping pictures & videos??
There was something on the BBC about that yesterday… About how in Europe, if there’s a plane crash or something, the newspapers will show a woman’s shoe amidst the rubble as a striking image.
Apparently the rest of the world is unable to understand subtlety and respect for the dead, so need to have severed limbs shown on the tv, newspapers, internet, etc.
Sounds about right.
3aib.. wallah 3aib.
the pictures/video were taken from a moving car .. I dont think there was a chance for a subtle and striking image.
