A man, his wife and their housemaid were killed, and four of their sons and another housemaid injured, when their car suffered a tire burst and overturned several times on the Taif-Riyadh Road near the town of Al-Humiyat. The injured were moved to Al-Humiyat health care center and then to Afif General Hospital. The accident rate on the road has increased since the beginning of Ramadan because of the movement of a large number of Umrah pilgrims.
