In what could possibly be described as the worst ever car pile-up in world history, a total of 227 cars and 12 buses collided into one large mess of mangled, burning metal. The pile up happened on the highway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. So far 3 people have been confirmed dead, 6 people in critical condition, and a whopping 347 people injured. The crash was blamed on reckless driving and "heavy fog". To put this crash into perspective, the worst car pile-up in US history involved 164 cars on I-5 near Coalinga, California. The death toll in that accident was 17 with 150 injured.

Here are some eyewitness photos from the scene:
