Prince Walid bin Talal survives horrific car accident




NNA - 11/08/2012 Saudi Prince Al Walid bin Talal bin Abed el Aziz escaped certain death Friday evening as his car tossed and tumbled three times before coming to a halt, in what was described as a grave motor accident on Jeddah-Mecca highway.

The Prince was accompanying the convoy of King Abdullah bin Abed el Aziz as it made its way from Jeddah to Mecca, where the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques planned to spend the last ten days of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

The car was completely destroyed by the accident. However, the Prince walked away unharmed and is reportedly in very good health.

Looks like it's been rear ended at some speed to do that kind of damage to a Range Rover. I bet its armoured as well.

No doubt the poor half-asleep bugger who rammed it is now in a deep basement at the Ministry of Interior being 'questioned'....

He may have been driving himself. Years ago when we were living in Dubai I often used to see Sheikh Mo driving by himself followed by security.

Actually, I'm surprised. It doesn't look that bad. I have seen much worse than that in Musaffa.
