Meanwhile, another fender bender has been reported on Sheikh Zayed Road, also heading in the direction of Sharjah, with slow-moving traffic in front of the World Trade Centre Residences, with tailbacks until second interchange.

The spillover has also caused congestion on the parallel road, in front of the Dubai International Convention Centre, with some slow-moving traffic on 2nd Zabeel Road.

Another minor accident has been reported heading towards Al Maktoum Bridge, near the Oud Metha Road junction, with traffic getting stick towards Deira, with a spillover of traffic at neighbouring Floating Bridge.

Those heading out of Sharjah and using Al Ittihad Street are in for a long ride, as three separate minor accidents have clogged up the major artery.
