Saudi Gazette report HAIL — A schoolteacher who commuted 90 kilometers daily between her home and workplace lost her life in a traffic accident on Thursday, Al-Hayat newspaper reported. After bidding farewell to her family on Thursday morning, 37-year-old Jamilah Al-Harbi left for her school, which is 45 kilometers away from Hail city. On her way back from school, the vehicle in which she and five other teachers were traveling in collided with a truck. Al-Harbi and the driver of the car died on the spot while the other five teachers sustained moderate to serious injuries.
