According to Brigadier Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic Police, the police were notified about the accident at 6.30am.

“Emergency teams, first responders, and traffic police patrols were immediately dispatched to the accident site. The injured were rushed to the hospital," the officer said.

Brig. Al Mazrouei, who headed the Dubai Police's team of traffic experts at the site, explained that the accident happened when one of the buses swerved suddenly from one lane to another.

It hit a bus on the road. After this, it swerved once again to another lane and hit another bus.

"It finally rammed into the metal barrier and flipped over,” Brig. Al Mazrouei said.

The officer warned that the most dangerous driving behaviours are sudden swerving and distraction while driving.
