A Saudi man lost his life after sustaining severe burns in a car accident on Tuesday morning.

The man was driving a Range Rover at a very high speed when his car swerved off the road, banged into a tree and caught fire immediately on Sheikh Rashid Road near Al Garhoud Bridge, heading towards Dubai.

Col. Saif Mohair Al Mazrouei, Director of Traffic Police said, “He was driving at frenzied speed.”

The number of casualties has gone up to 151 in comparison to the previous year, which saw four less accidents.

In another accident, a driver sustained major injuries after he veered off the road and hit a tree in Bur Dubai. Three people were injured in the incident.
