Car accidents in Dubai: 8th of January 2010
This accident happened today at Sheikh Zayed Road close to Oasis shopping centre.
From the distance I was taking pictures it was not clear how it happened. The barrier between the carriageways was broken and the car was just completely crashed. There were 2 ambulance cars and a few police cars and policemen.
It seems the driver was alive as the ambulance guys fixed him on a stretcher and were doing something. Hopefully, he is still alive.
The road became quite busy. First, because it became more narrow. Second, because everyone was slowing down to see what happened. The service road was completely stuck with cars and people watching what was going on. I actually was taking the service road due to another reason but I couldn’t help stopping and taking a couple of pictures.
Be careful.
