A pregnant Indian doctor was killed after she was knocked over by a speeding car driven by an Emirati while was crossing the road with her friend in Kalba.

The woman was rushed to hospital in critical condition while her friend escaped unhurt but suffered from a severe shock as she saw her friend flung several metres away by the car which fled the scene after the accident last Thursday.

The doctor and her foetus were declared dead in hospital on Sunday as police continued to search for the fleeing driver through security cameras which belong to shops and other firms in the area where the mishap took place.

A few days later, police managed to locate the car, which still had signs of the accident in its front, according to the Sharjah-based Alklhaleej newspaper.

“Police were lucky in seizing that car and its driver after he went to a local garage to have it fixed and remove those traces…but the garage owner refused to touch the car,” the paper said, adding that the driver confessed to having caused the accident.
