A driver has spoken of the carnage he witnessed yesterday after being caught up in a horrendous traffic accident on the road between Dubai and Abu
Dhabi, comparing the sight to a battlefield. Bakshish Singh was talking after seeing at close quarters the 60-car pile-up, which claimed three lives
and left 317 injured according to Abu Dhabi Police. Many of the injured are still critical after what is believed to be the UAE’s biggest ever traffic
smash, which occurred in thick fog close to Ghantoot yesterday morning.
“People were lying on the floor and were screaming for their lives. Some of them were struggling to get out of their vehicles after the doors got
jammed because of the impact of the accident, while others were stuck between the seats and shouting for help. Everything was very frightening,” he
said. “Cars were burning all over the place. It was like a battlefield where bombs rip up vehicles. The scene was bloody carnage.”
