Twenty-two people sustained serious to moderate injuries after 44 vehicles crashed in Abu Dhabi.
Traffic authorities in Abu Dhabi warned motorists to take alternative routes after two multi-vehicle accidents affected scores of cars on the major highway that links Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The accidents were reported at around 8.30am and 10am, and brought cars to a standstill.
A source from Abu Dhabi Police told Gulf News that the first accident happened between several vehicles on the way to Abu Dhabi, and urged motorists not to rubberneck and gape at the scene.
Abu Dhabi Police said the accident was caused by Tuesday morning’s heavy fog.
