An Emirati woman and four of her children have died in a car accident in Saudi Arabia.
The family were visiting the Kingdom this week when the accident happened, according to Arabic language newspaper Al Khaleej.
The family were travelling in two cars in Al Nairyah, a small town about 150km south of the Kuwaiti border. The first car was driven by the mother, 41, and carried five children, aged between 3 and 22 years old, and the second was driven by her husband, Mubarak Al Mazroui, who was carrying other passengers, Al Khaleej said.
They were on their way to a winter camp when a speeding vehicle crashed into the mother's car.
Five of the six passengers in the mother's car reportedly died on impact. The woman's 18-year-old daughter was the sole survivor and is currently in intensive care at a hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Funeral prayers were held in Al Souq mosque in Al Nairyah and the family were buried in a nearby cemetery.

Off-roading in the UAE: How to checklist
In Praise of Zayed
A thousand grains of Sand whirl in the sky
To mark the journey of one passer-by
If then a Cavalcade disturbs the scene,
Shall such grains sing before they start to fly?
What man of Honour, and to Honour bred
Will fear to go wherever Truth has led?
For though a Thousand urge him to retreat
He'll laugh, until such counsellors have fled.
Stands always One, defiant and alone
Against the Many, when all Hope has flown.
Then comes the Test; and only then the time
Of reckoning what each can call his own.
History will not forget: that one small Seed
Sufficed to tip the Scales in time of need.
More than a debt, the Emirates owe to Zayed
Their very Souls, from outside influence freed.
No praise from Roderic can increase his Fame.
Steadfastness was the Essence of his name.
The changing years grow Gardens in the Sand
And build new Roads to Sand which stays the same.
But Hearts are not rebuilt, nor Seed resown.
What was, remains, essentially Alone.
Until the Golden Messenger, all-wise,
Calls out: "Come now, my Friend!" - and All is known
- Roderic Fenwick Owen
