SHARJAH, UAE: Two Pakistani nationals suffered serious injuries on Tuesday in a road accident in Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The accident occurred at around 1.30 am local time in the Sharjah Industrial Area No. 1.
The reports said that the injured were identified as 29-year-old Qadi Hassan Khaled and Osman Zafar.
The overspeeding was reportedly the cause of the accident, resulting in injuries.

The Assistant Director of Accident and RSA Department at Rafid Automotive Solutions Abdelrahman Al Shamsi said that a surge was witnessed in minor road accidents in the Emirate last week during the Eid Ul Fitr Holidays.
Al Shamsi said that accidents were mainly caused by distractions while driving, failure to follow traffic rules, and careless behaviour.
