14 dead, 30 injured in Fujairah traffic accident

Fourteen people have died and 30 others have been injured following a major traffic accident in Fujairah, according to an update from the UAE Ministry of Interior.

It added that 18 vehicles and five trucks were involved in the accident.

According to Fujairah Police, the accident happened on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, shortly before midnight, when a truck driver lost control, triggering a series of collisions and a fire.

Police said the truck first collided with another vehicle before overturning and hitting several vehicles that had stopped or slowed because of traffic conditions.

The truck then caught fire, with the flames spreading to a number of other vehicles.

Police, ambulance, rescue and Civil Defence teams were dispatched to the scene, where firefighters tackled the blaze and paramedics provided first aid before transporting the injured to hospitals.

Of the 30 people injured, 15 have now been discharged from hospital, while the remaining 15 continue to receive treatment.

Police said those who died include Emiratis, while the identities of some of the other victims are still being established through DNA testing.

The injured include Emirati, Omani, Indian, Brazilian, Pakistani, Jordanian and Egyptian nationals.

Legal and technical procedures relating to the accident are continuing.

Fujairah Police have also urged motorists to observe speed limits and maintain a safe distance, particularly when approaching congested or slow-moving traffic.

The public has again been asked to rely on official sources and avoid sharing rumours or unverified information.
