A heavy truck was completely destroyed in a fire here, close to the Umm Al Thaub industrial area on Thursday.
According to official sources, the truck caught fire after the driver lost control over the wheel, veered off the Etihad road, and flipped over several times.
The central operations room of the UAQ Police dispatched traffic police, ambulances, paramedics and rescue teams to the site.
The civil defence firefighters managed to put out the blaze before spreading to other areas, and no injuries were reported, according to Col Khamis Ibrahim Bulsali, acting director of the UAQ Civil Defence department.
"All drivers need to be careful and attentive on the road," he said. "Maintenance service should also be done on a regular basis to control any possible fuel or oil leaks which are mostly blamed for such fires."
Investigations are on to identify the reasons behind the fire, he stated. "The case has been referred to the legal authorities concerned."
