These cars didn’t crash! A sculptor put them in this huge concrete block on purpose. The block stands on a wide roadway along the Red Sea in the city of Jiddah, in Saudi Arabia. Jiddah has many large sculptures with unusual designs. They have a practical, as well as a decorative, purpose. The sculptures serve as landmarks to help millions of visitors find their way around. The city is a busy commercial port and the gateway to Mecca, holiest city of the Muslim world.
