Dump truck disaster

This overturned dumptruck was just outside of our neighborhood this morning. Unfortunately, this is an all-too-common scene here in Dubai. We hope the driver of this truck fared better than his vehicle. After dropping Kaleigh and Ashlyn off at school this morning, Lisa attempted to leave the neighborhood again, only to be redirected to a completely inconvenient route (like...back to the neighborhood entrance) because road workers were attempting to remove the dump truck. Dubai has dump trucks the size of which most of you have never seen. They are like Monster Dump Trucks and are almost always overloaded and underinflated! Most people drive like they're at the Dubai Autodrome, which coincidentally is located very close to our neighborhood!
