Abu Dhabi Police has released a powerful video showing motorists the dangers of skipping red lights and has urged drivers to stay alert while at the wheel.
The 50-second video, posted on social media, begins by showing a vehicle running a red light and ploughing into the side of a black pick-up truck, causing both vehicles to veer dangerously out of control.
