UAE traffic: Car catches fire in Dubai, leads to heavy traffic jam

The accident has added to the morning rush-hour traffic

A Khaleej Times reader reported about a car catching fire on E311 this morning, very close to IMG Worlds of Adventure. The Dubai Civil Defence team and ambulances have already reached the spot and working on clearing the commotion. 
Another resident also shared the information on Twitter. Slow moving traffic can be spotted on Google Maps as the road resumes to normalcy.
