Lieutenant Colonel Al Ameri urged motorists to abide by traffic regulations, anticipate potential surprises on the road, exercise caution, reduce speed when approaching areas where traffic is diverted due to road work and construction, and leave enough space between vehicles. “Investigations are still underway to determine the circumstances of the accident,” concluded Al Ameri.
