DUBAI // Four people were killed and two seriously injured in traffic accidents in Dubai over three days this week, and police have urged motorists to follow speed limits.
On Sunday, a motorist crashed into a stopped vehicle on Sheikh Zayed Road near Jebel Ali at about 2.45pm, said Col Saif Al Mazrouei, director of the Dubai Police traffic department.
