DUBAI // Major congestion and tailbacks were reported on the Dubai-bound Sheikh Zayed Road after a car caught fire near the Nakheel Metro Station.
Traffic stretched as far back as the beginning of Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lakes Towers by 8am on Wednesday.
Motorists took to Twitter to report the traffic and the fire, uploading pictures of the front of a white car, covered in flames, stopped on the side of the road.
One man tweeted that he had seen the driver of the car, uninjured, standing next to the vehicle talking to police.
Dubai Police were not immediately available for comment.
