At least 14 people have been killed and 30 others injured in a major traffic accident involving 18 vehicles and five trucks in the Emirate of Fujairah, according to preliminary reports from the United Arab Emirates’ Interior Ministry.
The collision occurred shortly before midnight (20:00 GMT) at the entrance to the emirate. A truck driver lost control of his vehicle, colliding with another and causing both to veer off the road and crash into several stationary vehicles halted by slow-moving traffic. The truck then caught fire, engulfing several other cars.
Emergency and specialized teams continue to manage the accident’s aftermath, the ministry stated. Fifteen victims have been discharged from hospital after receiving medical care, while 15 others remain hospitalized.
Authorities have confirmed the 14 fatalities include Emirati nationals and several foreign nationals; DNA tests are currently being conducted to identify victims. The injured include nationals from the UAE, Oman, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Jordan, and Egypt, the ministry added.
