The accident occurred at the entrance of the eastern emirate in slow-moving traffic just before midnight, involving 23 vehicles, including five trucks. The impact caused the truck to catch fire, spreading the blaze to several other vehicles and leading to a heavy loss of life. Thirty people were injured and taken to the hospital, with DNA tests being used to identify the victims, some of whom were Emirati nationals. The Indian consulate reported that its citizens were among the deceased and has reached out to the families for support. Emergency services, including police, paramedics, and civil defense teams, responded to the scene to extinguish the fire, transfer the injured, and secure the site. Both the Interior Ministry and police expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. Among the injured were Emirati, Omani, Indian, Brazilian, Pakistani, Jordanian, and Egyptian nationals, with half of them discharged after receiving treatment, while the rest remain under medical care.",
