The civilian bus, which was carrying a number of national service conscripts as they were returning to their homes in the southern governorates of the Kingdom, had been involved at 3:15 PM today in a collision with a freight vehicle on the Desert Highway in the Al-Abyad area of Al-Karak Governorate.

Al-Issawi expressed his deepest condolences and sympathy to the families of the deceased, asking God Almighty to cover them with His vast mercy and forgiveness, to grant their families patience and solace, and to grant the injured a speedy recovery.
