Major General Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, commander-in-chief of Sharjah Police, said the boy suffered critical injuries that eventually led to his death, despite medical efforts to save him at the hospital.
"The tragedy happened while the traffic light was green for vehicles and red for pedestrians," Major General Al Shamsi explained.
"As the driver moved through the signal, the boy suddenly emerged from the left side, resulting in the fatal accident.”
A traffic case has been recorded against the motorist and will be handled by the Public Prosecution for further investigation.
