Big accident on Sealine road in Messaieed

By nomad_08

Lots of police and ambulances and I saw what looked like the remains of a crushed Land Cruiser and medics pulling bodies out of it.

Its the time of the year when this road is packed with campers especially on weekends. Speedsters on 4WD's overtaking without regards for other road users. Something different must be done to stop this madness and unnecessary loss of lives.

My wish that every one follow the traffic rules ,, if u r selfish and u don’t care about yourself well your family care ,, think about them from my experience I had lost my cousin by an accident there in the same road It was the hardest news to receive ,,, Till now his mother cant believe that she lost her boy ,,, so plz think about your families while driving and keep safe

Yeah, agree with stealth - most of the abusive drivers are not locals, mostly expats. It's obvious to any of us who have been driving in Qatar for a few years.

Most of the abusive drivers here are locals. I know this is their country. Disregarding they're own safety is not my concern, but disregarding safety of everyone else is another story. I really can't understand this people. What are they thinking, while driving so irresponsibly on the roads?

Driving on the roads leading to Mesaieed & Al Khor is scary.. Dukhan is somewhat better..

its a very dangerous road, with all the landcruisers 'leap-frogging' the trucks just to make a few metres extra.

I drove back up today, and there was some idiots on the road.
