Fourteen people were killed and thirty injured late on Wednesday night in a pile-up at the entrance to Fujairah, in the United Arab Emirates. Fujairah Police said a truck lost control on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road shortly before midnight, hit another vehicle, overturned and struck vehicles stopped in slow traffic. The truck caught fire and the fire spread to several damaged vehicles. Twenty three vehicles were involved in all, eighteen cars and five trucks. The United Arab Emirates Interior Ministry said on Thursday that its figures are preliminary and could change as the work of identifying the victims and confirming the toll continues.
Fujairah Police said the injured include nationals of Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, India, Brazil, Jordan and Egypt. Police did not say how many of the injured are Pakistani, and no Pakistani has been confirmed among the dead. Emirati nationals are among those killed, and several victims have not yet been identified, with identification under way through DNA testing. No breakdown of those killed by nationality has been released. By the time the story was published, the Pakistan Embassy in Abu Dhabi, the Consulate General in Dubai and the Foreign Office in Islamabad had not commented. Fifteen of the thirty injured have been discharged from hospital, and fifteen are still receiving care.
India’s Consulate General in Dubai has confirmed that Indian nationals were among those killed. The investigation into how the truck lost control is continuing, and authorities urged the public to rely only on official sources and not to circulate unverified claims.
