"I heard a noise but I couldn’t figure out what it was in the beginning. Then I realised that it was an accident between multiple cars," said NA.

Describing the force of the impact, the Dubai resident said one car had turned "a full 180 degrees".

A white sedan car, a Range Rover and a taxi were among the vehicles involved in the accident. The front portion of the vehicles' exterior were damaged, with some of their tyres affected, as per the eyewitness.

Only one lane was open for vehicles to pass through as authorities worked on clearing the road.

"Luckily, I think the people are okay," added NA.
