Sixty Vehicles Crash on Abu Dhabi-Dubai Highway

Via GulfNews -



Abu Dhabi: At least three people were killed and nearly 350 injured in a horrific 60 vehicle pile-up on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway near Ghantoot on Tuesday.

However, Gulf News has learnt that the death toll could be five. The 25km stretch of the UAE's busiest highway from Abu Dhabi to Dubai was closed for more than five hours, resulting in huge tailbacks during rush hours.

Police said among the 347 injured, six people were critical, while 39 suffered medium injuries. The remaining suffered minor injuries. Police said 25 vehicles caught fire following the accidents caused by poor visibility due to the thick fog and lack of attention by motorists.

There are several blogs reporting that up to 200 cars could have been involved in this pile-up.

Only time will reveal the truth....but there is one truth that we are pretty sure on...

"Women will rule the future"
