A 19-year-old male and a 28-year-old female citizens were killed in a horrific traffic accident on the road linking the Masafi area and Dibba-Masafi Main Street.

Colonel Saleh Mohammed Abdullah Al Dhanhani, Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at the Fujairah Police General Command, explained that the accident occurred as a result of a head-on collision between two vehicles on a non-dual road that starts from the Masafi roundabout in the Emirate of Fujairah to Dibba-Masafi Street.

"Accident claimed the lives of two young Emirati citizens and their bodies were transported to the hospital, for the further procedures," Colonel Saleh said.
