Dubai Police has warned drivers of the dangers of using mobile phones while driving following a four-way crash that left two people injured.
The incident involved four vehicles on Dubai-Al Ain Road where preliminary investigations indicated it was caused by one of the drivers using a phone, causing him to lose focus leading up to the crash.
Two people sustained minor injuries and were provided with medical care at the scene.
Dubai Police affirmed that failing to pay attention to the road while driving is among the most prominent causes of traffic accidents that slows reactions to emergencies and endangers the lives of road users.
Brigadier Juma Salem bin Suwaidan, Director of the General Department of Traffic, has called on all road users to comply with traffic regulations and laws to achieve road safety.
He urged drivers to avoid using mobile phones, refrain from making calls, reading messages or browsing applications while driving, as well as to steer clear of other distracting activities such as eating or handling devices.
