RAS AL KHAIMAH // An Emirati and her two-month-old baby were severely injured and seven others suffered minor to moderate injures when two cars crashed in RAK on Thursday morning.
The 30-year-old mother collided with another vehicle as she changed lanes, said Brig Dr Mohammed Saeed Al Hamidi, general director of the general directorate of central operations at RAK Police.
“We received a call saying there is a severe car crash between two vehicles on Al Shuhada Road,” he said.
“The Emirati woman was driving her vehicle accompanied by her baby and six people, among them two African labourers. She tried to pass from her lane to the other, where there was another vehicle driven by European motorist.
“She tried to avoid him but she collided with the vehicle, which resulted in everybody in the car sustaining injuries.”
The injured were taken to hospital and a report was sent to prosecutors to complete legal procedures.
Mr Al Hamidi called all motorists to stick to traffic laws and regulations in place for protection. He also warned drivers to ensure the way ahead was free before changing lanes.
