A truck collision on a road in Fujairah, UAE, has left 14 people dead and 30 injured. Police have released details on the cause of the fatal incident.
A fatal truck collision on a major road in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, has resulted in 14 deaths and 30 injuries, according to local police. The incident occurred earlier this week when a heavy goods vehicle lost control and collided with a second vehicle, causing a chain‑reaction crash.
Police investigators have identified the primary cause as a sudden brake failure on the leading truck, which led to a loss of traction on the wet road surface. The crash site was cleared after emergency services rendered aid to the injured.
Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution on the region’s highways, especially during adverse weather conditions. The incident has prompted a review of vehicle maintenance protocols for commercial fleets operating in the area.
