Sixteen migrant workers have died in a road accident in Saudi Arabia after the bus that was carrying them collided with a car.
The bus hit a sports utility vehicle on a desert highway near Abqaiq in the Eastern Province on Thursday night.
Eleven of the dead are Bangladeshi, three are Pakistani and two are Indian. 16 others were injured.
Approximately 7 million of Saudi Arabia's 24 million population are foreign residents, mostly blue-collar workers.
Motorists frequently exceed 120km/h speed limits on the desert highway linking Riyadh and the Gulf coast, which has many sections that are unlit and badly surfaced.
