Two men died and a third was injured when their pick-up crashed into a tanker on Sunday morning.
Dubai Police said the accident happened on Business Bay Bridge towards Deira at about 8.45am, which caused a massive traffic jam.
Chief Traffic Prosecutor Salah Bu Farousha, Head of Dubai Traffic Public Prosecution (TPP), told Gulf News that the Pakistani driver of the tanker has been provisionally detained for reckless driving and causing two deaths.
“The 23-year-old Pakistani man was driving a water tanker. Suddenly he veered into another lane and rammed into a pick-up carrying refreshments. An Egyptian driver, in his 30s, who was driving a pick-up, could not avoid the water tanker due to the sudden swerving. Two passengers in the pick-up, a Filipino and an Indian, died instantly. The Egyptian who sustained minor injuries was taken to hospital for treatment,” said Bu Farousha.
The Pakistani driver is currently detained and will be questioned by traffic prosecutors today, according to TPP’s Head.
