Abu Dhabi: One man is confirmed dead and two more injured following a car crash in the Al Wajn area of Abu Dhabi.
According to Abu Dhabi police, a Filipino passenger died as a result of injuries sustained in the incident while the driver and another passenger suffered severe to moderate injuries.
Police said a Pakistani national was driving a company vehicle, heading north, in the fast lane when he lost control of the vehicle, swerved to the right and crossed multiple highway lanes.
The car rolled multiple times and finally came to rest on the roadside away from the highway lanes.
"According to a passenger in the same vehicle, the driver was engaged in a conversation with another passenger when the accident occurred, and was probably not entirely focused on the road," said Colonel Hamad Al Baloushi, director of the outer region with Abu Dhabi Police.
An Indian passenger suffered moderate injuries, police said.
