A pair of back-to-back crashes on Fujairah's Sheikh Khalifa Road left 14 people dead and 30 hurt, prompting a federal prosecution inquiry into the cause and potential legal responsibility.
The UAE Ministry of Interior said all 14 people who died had been identified. Ten were UAE nationals and four were Indians. Of the 30 injured, seven were Indians and six Omanis; the others included eight UAE nationals, three Egyptians, and two each from Jordan, Pakistan and Brazil.
The Federal Public Prosecution ordered an inspection of the scene, technical reviews and laboratory testing to establish how the collisions unfolded and assess possible legal liability. EconoTimes previously covered the reported Fujairah crash toll.
The Ministry of Interior said police, ambulance and Civil Defence crews responded, and the injured were taken to hospitals. It urged motorists to follow speed limits, keep a safe gap from other vehicles and stay alert when traffic slows or stops. The ministry said coordination among authorities on the response and investigation is continuing.
