At least two crashes are being reported this morning on the Dubai-Al Ain highway, causing severe tailbacks and delays. 

Eyewitnesses stuck in the jam report that congestion towards Dubai continues to build up, with the jam starting from right after the Nad Al Sheba intersection 1,2 and all the way up to the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road intersection. 

One of the accidents just before exit 9 towards Nad al Shiba 1,2 involved three cars, according to an eyewitness, who said that Dubai Police was already on the scene and helping clear additional lanes for traffic movement. There has been no word on any injuries so far. 

The other accident, involving a pick-up and a sedan car, occurred just after exit 9, said an eyewitness, who said the sedan was badly crashed.

Drivers are advised caution, and may wish to take alternative routes or keep a time buffer for their trip if they are planning on taking the Dubai-Al Highway this morning. 

In addition, there have been reports of a couple of accidents on the main Sheikh Zayed Road in both directions, but traffic seemed to be moving at normal pace at about 9.30am this morning.
