A man was killed and another was seriously injured in road accidents in Dubai on Wednesday.

In the first incident, a minibus driver died after he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a pavement on Al Manama Street.

Police said the motorist did not turn with the bend of the road.

“This caused his minibus to ram into the pavement before landing in the middle of the roundabout,” a police officer said.

In the second accident, the driver of a vehicle rammed into a motorbike on an internal road in Al Khabaisi area around 5.30pm.

Officers from Al Muraqqbat police station and paramedics were sent to the scene and took the biker to the hospital.
