A police car rushing to join the civil defence in putting out a fire in the eastern oasis town of Al Ain was hit by another car which jumped the red lights but there were no injuries, the semi official daily Alittihad said on Thursday.

The emergency police vehicle was inside the red signal junction when the other car rammed into it after its Asian driver failed to stop at the red lights, it said.

The accident occurred at the industrial area in Al Ain and resulted in slight damage to both cars but there were no injuries, the paper said, quoting Lt Colonel Mohammed Al Amiri, deputy director of emergency and public safety in Abu Dhabi police.
