Six injured in multiple Dubai accidents

Six people were injured in three different accidents on Dubai's roads in the last 48 hours.

Dubai Police said jumping a red light and failure to maintain a safe distance were the main causes.

The first accident occurred on Financial Centre Street on Monday morning, in which a minibus driver suffered moderate injuries after his vehicle collided with a four-wheel drive.

The second accident took place on Sheikh Zayed Road in the direction of Sharjah on Monday morning when a motorist jumped the red light and crashed into another. Three people were injured in the incident.

Six vehicles were involved in the third accident which led to a temporary traffic diversion on Dubai- Al Ain Road on Tuesday morning.
