Fujairah: One man was killed and another is fighting for his life after a four-wheel drive vehicle ran over three Bangladeshis in Merbeh in Fujairah on Saturday evening. The third person suffered minor injuries, hospital sources said.
The men were attempting to cross a service lane on the Fujairah-Khor Fakkan road when they were hit by the vehicle driven by 23-year-old Emirati M.S.M.
One of the victims died on the spot while the other two were rushed to Khor Fakkan Hospital by police emergency services.
One of the injured men is in a coma and is critical. He has been admitted to the intensive care unit, while a hospital source said the injuries of the third man are not serious. A police source said the men had no identity papers on them.
Every year speeding causes the death of several pedestrians in the emirate, police said and warned motorists to drive carefully.
