An Asian national died and 8 people were injured in a 19-vehicle pileup in the Maqatara area "towards Al Mafraq" in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday morning.
The accident occurred due to distraction from traffic on the road and not keeping sufficient space between vehicles when there was poor visibility due to fog.
Abu Dhabi Police called for caution while driving, and not be preoccupied while driving, especially during early hours when fog formation takes place to avoid accidents.
The police also urged motorists to follow up on traffic bulletins, emphasising the importance of adhering to safe driving and the speed limits set on the roads in these circumstances.
