Dubai: Five people, including three women, died after a mini-bus swerved and overturned on Shaikh Rashid Road on Sunday, said Salah Bu Farousha, Head of Dubai's Traffic Prosecution.
The mini-bus on way to Bur Dubai from Deira swerved near Dubai Police Officer’s Club and landed on the opposite side of the road, rammed into a car and overturned.
The Egyptian driver of the mini-bus, three Filipinas and an Indian were killed in the accident; the Syrian driver of the car was also injured in the accident, said Bu Farousha.
The early morning accident triggered massive road jams; traffic was diverted to other areas, including Business Bay.
