Accident near WTC causes heavy congestion in Dubai

Rising temperature is not the only thing bothering UAE residents this morning

The temperature is soaring but that is not the only thing bothering UAE residents this morning. Multiple accidents on different roads has been adding to the congestion on the roads this morning.
We have just learnt about an accident on Sheikh Zayed road, heading towards Sharjah. The accident has taken place around the World Trade Centre roundabout, causing tailbacks of at least 3.5 kms. Avoid this road and look for alternatives if possible.
Traffic is building up in Dubai near Burj Al Arab due to multiple accidents. If you are driving from Al Khail road towards Jumeirah, you can expect delays.
