An Emirati and his Asian wife died in an accident in Ras Al Khaimah on Wednesday.

Lt. Ibrahim Saif Al Mazroui, Director of Traffic and Patrols Branch at Digdaga Police Station, said they received a call at 11am on Wednesday morning about the accident involving a 63-year-old UAE national, MAO, and his 39-year-old Asian wife, VM.

Police patrols and ambulance vehicles were immediately sent to the accident scene but the couple had already died.

The deceased driver drove straight onto the main road without ensuring that the road is free from vehicles and was hit by another vehicle, resulting in death of the couple on the spot.

Their bodies were first transported to a hospital and then handed over to their relatives for the burial.

Al Mazroui appealed to all motorists to exercise caution and ensure that there are no vehicles before entering onto the road.
