Saudi Authorities Collect DNA Samples to Identify Victims of Fatal Bus Crash

Saudi Arabia’s authorities have collected DNA samples from the relatives of the victims of a fatal bus crash that happened in the Kingdom’s southwestern region. The bus, which was carrying 20 people, collided with a truck on the way to the holy city of Mecca on Sunday night, resulting in the death of all passengers on board.

According to the spokesperson for the Saudi Red Crescent Authority, the DNA samples will be used to identify the victims, who were all foreign nationals. The authorities are working to ensure that the families of the victims are informed of the tragic incident and are providing them with the necessary support.

The accident has sparked widespread condolences and messages of sympathy from officials across the region. In a statement, the Saudi Ministry of Interior expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety of all travelers in the Kingdom.

The cause of the crash is yet to be determined. However, initial reports suggest that the bus collided with the truck due to poor visibility caused by heavy fog in the area. Investigations are ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.

The incident has once again highlighted the need for increased safety measures on the Kingdom’s roads. The Saudi government has been working to improve the infrastructure and transportation network in the country, including investing in new highways and upgrading existing ones, to ensure the safety of both locals and tourists.
