An Arab national was killed and seven Asians sustained minor injuries in a traffic accident, which occurred on Sunday morning, due to the low visibility during fog. According to Colonel Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Deputy Head of the Capital's Traffic Department, Traffic and Patrols Directorate of Abu Dhabi Police, the accident, on Abu Dhabi-Sila road, involved a bus transporting workers and a truck trailer. 
Investigations are still underway to determine the circumstances of the accident. 
Colonel Al Zeyoudi called upon motorists, especially those using the external highways (Abu Dhabi-Dubai; Abu Dhabi-Al Ain; Abu Dhabi-Ghuwaifat), and truck drivers on trucks' roads; to adhere to the instructions of the Abu Dhabi Police and not to drive trucks or heavy vehicles until the fog clears.
He stressed the need to reduce speed and be cautious on the road especially during foggy conditions, which causes low visibility. He also urged them to follow the weather forecasts, and the safety instructions issued by the concerned authorities.
