Dubai: A man was killed and two others sustained injuries in a collision between a pick-up truck and a cement mixer on Al Khail Road early Thursday morning.
Captain Tahnoon Humaid, Duty Rescue Officer at Dubai Police, said the accident took place when the Indian driver identified as T.R. was driving the pick-up recklessly over the speed limit.
As a result, he collided with a large cement mixer which was moving in front of him.
