Over 50 injured in Sharjah pile-up
SHARJAH — Over 50 people received injuries, minor and major, in a pile-up involving 72 cars on Sharjah-Al Dhaid road near the 10th interchange at 7am yesterday.
Poor visibility caused by heavy morning fog led to the pile-up, Sharjah Police confirmed. In another accident in the same area at around the same time yesterday, a 53-year-old Pakistani national was run over by a car while trying to cross road. This accident, too, was caused by poor visibility, Sharjah Police said.
The pile-up, said the police, led to a traffic jam for over three hours. They had to block the road for motorists and rush the victims to hospital and remove the damaged vehicles.
The Sharjah Police rushed to the site immediately after the cars crashed into each other. Officials from the Al Dhaid police station, civil defence and Anjad Patrol also reached the site immediately to provide first aid to the injured and rush them to hospitals.
