Two accidents down Sheikh Zayed Road have caused a gridlock that was still in place at 9am, opposite Dubai Internet City, heading towards Trade Centre.

The accidents added to the already growing gridlock that was in place due to a minor accident earlier in the day near Al Safa Park.

Meanwhile, another accident in the Green Community also created further jams near the Dubai Investment Parks junction.

Commuter R Srinath spoke to Emirates 24|7 saying: “The accidents on Sheikh Zayed Road are probably metres apart; one involves a water supplier’s truck and a Range Rover, the other is a sedan car and a FJ Cruiser.

“Several other cars were also pulled over making you think that it wasn’t just a two-car collision in either case.”

Dubai Police vehicles were on the scene at both incidents, but traffic appears to have backed up all the way to Discovery Gardens.

Meanwhile, Hayley Scottie tweeted: “Major accident reported in DIP/Green Community causing severe congestion for traffic coming out at this hour.

Taghred Chandab also reported of issues in Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers, saying: “Traffic is at a standstill north bound on Sheikh Zayed Road Dubai Marina, JLT.”

There is also heavy traffic congestion being reported on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, heading towards Airport Road and Al Rebaat Street.
