Ras Al Khaimah: A 44-year-old Asian road worker died after a speeding vehicle driven by a 33-year-old Emirati woman hit him on Wednesday afternoon.
Colonel Ahmad Al Naqbi, acting director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at Ras Al Khaimah Police , said the police operations room received a call about a vehicle driven by woman running over two road workers.
Police patrols, paramedics moved to the accident site and found one worker, 44, had died at the spot while another man, 28, sustained moderate injuries.
