Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates—Dense morning fog rolled rapidly across the desert highway, reducing horizontal visibility to mere meters. Motorists braking suddenly along the middle lanes triggered a chaotic chain-reaction multi-car collision. Metal smashed against metal as passenger sedans and commercial SUVs collided in the blinding haze. Disabled vehicles spun across active lanes, blocking all northbound traffic corridors.
Emergency dispatch centers received dozens of frantic emergency calls within minutes of the initial impact. Traffic police patrols and civil defense rescue units rushed toward the crash site with amber warning lights flashing. Paramedics hurried across the asphalt to reach motorists trapped inside heavily damaged cabin frames.
Medical authorities confirmed that two drivers sustained moderate injuries during the multi-car pileup. First responders stabilized the wounded motorists at the scene before transferring them to regional hospitals. Highway patrol officers established a wide safety perimeter to prevent secondary collisions in the fog.
Transportation management systems activated overhead electronic warning boards to alert approaching drivers about the blockage. Heavy tow trucks maneuvered slowly through the congested lanes to clear the wrecked automobiles. Road maintenance crews cleared shattered glass and automotive fluid spills from the asphalt surface.
Traffic police urged motorists to reduce speed and maintain safe following distances during seasonal fog events. Normal transit flow resumed gradually once authorities cleared the final damaged vehicles from the travel lanes.
Transport ministries reiterated calls for heightened driver awareness along major inter-emirate transit routes.
