5 crashes, huge traffic jam at National Paints

Dubai-bound traffic was reportedly stalled for two hours in the National Paints intersection in Sharjah following five accidents this afternoon.

A commuter told Emirates24|7 that road work also impacted the traffic flow, reducing “seven lanes to two”.

“We haven’t moved an inch over the last hour,” relayed the exasperated motorist.

She added that “five accidents” in the area also added to the delay. All the accidents involved sedans, she said.

A quick check on twitter threw up this traffic update.

“Zahma | Traffic | At its worst towards Dubai in National Paints,” read the tweet from ‏@WeSpeakArabic .
