A motorist lost control over his vehicle and crashed into a shopping store in Al Rifa area, resulting in the injury of three workers at the store, Dubai Police officials said on Monday.

The accident took place last Thursday, when police received a call reporting that the driver had swerved off the road while changing direction towards an internal road at a high speed.
