Indian expat Sajinabanu dies in UAE car crash during Eid getaway

An Indian expat living in the UAE for decades died in a tragic traffic accident in Al Ain during Eid holidays.

A native of Kozhikode who had gone to Al Ain to celebrate Eid died in a car accident.

The deceased was identified as Sajinabanu, 54, a resident of Ponvilikandi House, Marykunnu, Kerala.

Three people, including her son Jawad Nas, were injured.

The couple, who lives in Ajman, had gone to Al Ain for a holiday with relatives and friends.

Son Jawad was driving the vehicle.

Jawad lost control of the car near the resort they were staying on the main road and Sajinabanu was thrown from the overturned vehicle and died on the spot due to critical head injuries.

The police and ambulance rushed to the site of the accident to tend to the injured family.

Other members sustained minor injuries from the accident. It was Sajinabanu who could not make it.

An investigation has been launched into the accident. Police are suspecting a case of overspeeding.  

Sajinabanu's remains were scheduled to depart UAE on Wednesday evening for a funeral in her home state.

The burial will be held later in Kerala with the presence of family members and loved ones.
