A number of Britons have died in a serious road crash in Saudi Arabia.
A Foreign Office (FCO) spokesman confirmed there were UK fatalities among the victims, but details were still emerging following the crash on Saturday.
The spokesman said: “We are supporting the British families of those who have died and those injured following a serious road traffic accident near the town of Al Khalas, Saudi Arabia.”
Al Khalas is a settlement roughly 30 miles north of the holy site of Mecca.
