The crash took place at 5:30am on Shaikh Zayed Road in the Abu Dhabi direction near Seih Shuaib Bridge between three vehicles, Lieutenant Colonel Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Acting Director of the department, said.
The driver of the first car, a Pakistani, hit the second from the back, which resulted in his car overturning and landing outside the road, Lt Col Al Mazroui said.
This caused the driver of the third vehicle to hit the second car as well.
