One woman was killed and 16 people were injured when a pick-up crashed into a minibus carrying company employees - on Amman street in Muhaisna 2, at 9.30am on Thursday.
The accident occurred when the pick-up tried to stop at a traffic signal at high speed; the driver lost control and went over the road median into the opposite lane and hit the minibus going in the opposite direction.
Major General pilot Anas Al Matrooshi, Director-General of the Deparment of Transport and Rescue at Dubai police, said police and rescue teams rushed to the accident spot within eight minutes. One woman in the minibus died on the spot, seven sustained serious injuries, and nine people had minor injuries. They were rushed to Rashid Hospital.
Maj Al Matrooshi said the rescue teams had to use hydraulic cutters to take out the passengers who were stuck inside the minibus - one man and three women. He praised the efforts of the emergency teams for their quick response and organising the traffic movement.
This is the second major accident involving a minibus in two weeks. On July 26, seven people were killed and 13 injured on Emirates road after a minibus crashed into a truck that was halted on the third lane after the latter had had a minor accident.
