DUBAI // A man was killed on Al Khail Road after two lorries collided early on Tuesday morning.
Colonel Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, acting director of Dubai Police Traffic Department, said the crash took place at 3.15am when two trucks crashed on the southbound carriage of Al Khail Road near Dubai Creek.
He said speed, inattention or tailgating could be causes of the incident that killed the driver of the vehicle at fault.
Colonel Al Mazroui urged drivers to exercise caution on the road, avoid driving when tired and drowsy and observe traffic rules at all times.
The crash caused major tailbacks on the road for several hours.

Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
