ABU DHABI // Four people were killed and 39 injured in 23 traffic accidents across the UAE during the Eid Al Fitr holidays.
Brigadier General Ghaith Hassan Al Zaabi, director general at the General Traffic Coordination Department at the Ministry of Interior, said the majority of accidents were due to failure to observe traffic rules and regulations.
He said traffic departments across the country were fully prepared to deal with accidents, but urged motorists to obey traffic rules, especially speed limits, leaving a safe distance between cars and avoiding illegal parking.
