The Indian Consulate in Dubai has expressed deep sorrow after a fatal road accident on Emirates Road claimed the lives of seven workers, including six Indian nationals and a Sri Lankan citizen, while leaving nine others injured.

Consular officials visited the injured in the hospital and said they are working closely with local authorities to provide assistance to victims and their families. “Our heartfelt condolences and prayers are with the grieving families during this difficult time,” the mission said in a statement.

Dh1 million relief announced for victims

Meanwhile, Dr Shamsheer Vayalil, Abu Dhabi-based entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Chairman and CEO of Burjeel Holdings, has announced a Dh1 million humanitarian recovery programme to support families affected by the fatal Emirates Road crash in Dubai.

The families of each of the seven deceased victims will receive Dh100,000, while Dh180,000 has been allocated to support the medical and recovery needs of the injured survivors.

The package also includes Dh70,000 to cover emergency travel and accommodation expenses for family members and Dh50,000 dedicated to supporting the education of children from the affected families.

What caused the crash?

According to Dubai Police, preliminary investigations indicate the truck had come to a sudden stop on Emirates Road following a technical malfunction.

Authorities said the minibus driver failed to maintain a safe distance and was unable to avoid the stranded vehicle, resulting in a high-impact rear-end collision.

The workers, all employed by a technical services company, were returning to their accommodation in Sharjah after completing work at a construction site in Dubai when the minibus they were travelling in collided with the truck in the middle of Emirates Road near the Dubai-Sharjah border.

Company sources said the minibus was carrying 17 people, including the driver. The seven workers who died were seated on the right side of the vehicle, which absorbed the full force of the impact.

Of the nine injured, five have since been discharged from the hospital, while four remain under medical care, including three Indian nationals and one Nepali worker.

Identification process underway

Authorities are continuing efforts to formally identify all victims, with company sources saying the process has been complicated by the severity of the injuries sustained in the crash.

Dubai Police warning

Following the accident, Dubai Police renewed warnings about the dangers of leaving broken-down vehicles in the middle of the road.

Motorists experiencing a breakdown are urged to:

  • Activate hazard warning lights immediately
  • Place a warning triangle at a safe distance
  • Move passengers away from the vehicle
  • Contact the police without delay

Police noted that stopping a vehicle on the roadway due to a breakdown, tyre failure, or fuel shortage is a traffic offence under UAE law, carrying a Dh1,000 fine and six black points.
