Large scale crash in Dubai

Three people were killed and 277 injured in the United Arab Emirates yesterday when dozens of cars and buses collided in thick fog in what could be the country's biggest traffic accident.

Up to 20 cars burned in the pile-up during the morning rush hour on the main motorway between Dubai and the capital.

So many cars were hit that police have yet to count them all.
