A water tanker overturned on a motorway in Dubai on Monday, blocking off five lanes to traffic.
Police said the driver lost control of the lorry, causing it to overturn just before Al Warqa exit towards Abu Dhabi.
Brig Saif Al Mazroui, director of the police's traffic department, said a crane had to be brought in to move the vehicle.
“The five lanes were cleared in record time and no injuries were reported.
"It took the use of a crane to remove the tank and clear the lanes for traffic,” he said.
Brig Al Mazroui called on motorists to be "extra cautious" while driving and to adhere to traffic regulations to avoid such accidents.
On Sunday, police released pictures of a 13-vehicle pile-up as they urged drivers to be cautious in low visibility.
The accident happened on Emirates Road on Sunday morning.
Officers said three people were injured in the crash on the Sharjah-bound lane.
