Four motorists sustained minor injuries in a pile-up involving eight cars in Seih Al Sedera area outbound Abu Dhabi on Thursday morning, according to Abu Dhabi Police.

The injured motorists were treated on site by medical teams.

The accident occurred at around 7.15am when eight vehicles collided into each other, due to foggy weather conditions and low visibility.

In another accident in the same area at around 7.20am, a vehicle rammed into a bus, which slowed down the traffic movement. One person sustained minor injuries, who was given medical treatment on site.

Although the woman in the burning car was unhurt, she was taken to hospital by an ambulance for a medical check-up, police sources told Gulf News. The vehicle’s bonnet was totally burnt.

Police, paramedics and Civil Defence teams reached the scene immediately.

Police cordoned off the area and firefighters contained the flames within minutes.

The burnt vehicle was towed away by traffic police.

Traffic was diverted to other routes, causing delays for about 40 minutes
