A UAE national man, 25, identified as S.A., died in a collision between his Nissan Patrol car and a truck in Al Hamidiya area, Ajman.

Lieutenant Colonel Saif Abdullah Al Falasi, Director of Traffic and Patrols Department at Ajman Police, said that the incident occurred at 4:15am on Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road, near Al Hamidiya Bridge, in the direction of Sharjah.

Ajman Police cordoned off the road.

“S.A. died as a result of a collision of his car with a truck which caused the accident by suddenly swerving from the right lane to the middle lane and colliding with the man’s car that was in the correct lane. The car overturned, causing serious wounds to the man who was trapped inside it,” Al Falasi added.

Upon receiving the report, police patrols, National Ambulance and Civil Defence teams rushed to the scene. The rescue teams of the Ajman Civil Defence pulled out the driver from the car and then transferred him by ambulance to the hospital, where he succumbed to critical wounds, Al Falasi said.

He appealed to all drivers to pay attention, be careful, and stick to their lanes, especially on roads with opposite directions to avoid serious traffic accidents.
