A tragic car accident involving a high-speed sports car resulted in the deaths of two individuals near Etihad Mall in Al Khawaneej, as reported by Dubai Police on Wednesday.

Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, revealed that the incident occurred at 11:55 pm on Tuesday. Although he did not disclose the nationality of the deceased, he confirmed that they were a man and a woman. Al Mazrouei explained, "The driver was over-speeding. As the car approached the bridge's curve, it skidded, collided with the curb, and the concrete barrier then fell from the bridge to the street below."

"Due to the excessive speed, the car continued in the opposite direction on the lower street until it came to rest on the median strip, where it caught fire, resulting in the deaths of the driver and a woman accompanying him," he added.

Emergency services, including police and rescuers, swiftly responded to the scene. Traffic patrols managed traffic flow, secured the accident site, and facilitated the arrival of ambulances and rescue vehicles.
