A man was out running before work when he was hit by a car.
Dominic David Murray, of Craven Road in Liverpool, was working in Saudi Arabia earlier this year. On February 6, the 41-year-old was running on a dark road, with no lighting, before he started work as a management consultant.
An inquest was held into the death of Mr Murray at the Gerard Majella Courthouse on February 28 where it was heard that a car was driving along the single track road when the driver saw a pedestrian running in the middle of the road, headed in the same direction towards Tabuk.

Coroner Mr Andre Rebello said Mr Murray was struck from behind as he described the incident as "tragic and sad". The hearing heard how there had been no street lighting and Mr Murray had been wearing dark clothing.
The Hyundai car came to a stop and there had been no brake markings on the road. Despite being taken to hospital, Mr Murray was tragically pronounced dead on arrival due to his severe injuries.
Mr Rebello added as he was running in the middle of the road, Mr Murray had sustained "major fatal injuries" in the crash. Recording a conclusion of road traffic collision, Mr Murray's cause of death was multiple injuries.
Offering his sincere condolences to the family, Mr Rebello said: "Death is devastating. The fact of death is miniscule compared to the beauty of life. Dominic will always be remembered for his loving relationships."
He urged the family to "celebrate his life" as he added: "You have got Dominic's life to remember, you have got all his love still with you, that is important, no-one can take that away from you."
