An Emirati aged 26 died in a tragic accident after his vehicle collided with a camel that strayed on the road.

The accident happened on the Al Madam-Mileiha Road and the force of the impact was so severe that the vehicle flew off the road, colliding with a fence around farm land.

The Emirati was transferred to a hospital in Dhaid in a very critical condition, where he then died several hours later.

The Sharjah Police responded to an emergency call about the presence of a dead camel on the road.

When the police patrol reached the spot they found not only the camel, but the vehicle and the injured man as well.

Preliminary inspection confirmed that the driver hit the camel that had strayed onto the road. The camel died on the spot.
