Three succumbed to death after their car caught fire on Sharjah’s Mleiha Road on today early morning. Two Emiratis and their maid burned to death before rescue officials could reach accident spot. Their bodies have been transferred to the morgue.
A top traffic police official said that after the tire burst, the car hit a cement barrier and then veered off the road before crashing into a streetlight. The two Emiratis, a 71 years-old and a 61-years-old along with their maid died before rescue officials could reach the spot.
Director of Traffic Awareness Department Major Abdul Rahman Khater said an onlooker at the accident site irresponsibly recorded a video of the victims as they burned to death. Major Khater warned residents against circulating this video.
He said that anyone who circulates this video would be subjected to legal action. We must respect the victims’ families, who wouldn’t want people to watch as their loved ones died, he said.
