20 killed in Al Ain road accident+


   

UAE: Twenty Asian workers were killed and several injured in a major road accident in Al Ain early this morning, eyewitnesses said. The accident happened on the Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Road at Al Rawdha near Al Ain city at around 8, and involved a 40-seater bus carrying 55 workers from their camp to their work area, eyewitnesses from a camp near the accident site told Khaleej Times.

“I was driving to from our camp when I saw a concrete-laden truck crash into a bus coming from the opposite direction. The bus was smashed beyond recognition. I don’t think any of the workers in the bus could have survived this accident,” he said.

Another eyewitness said more than a dozen could have perished in the accident. The victims worked for a maintenance and contracting company that has its camp in the area.

Abu Dhabi and Al Ain police said the accident had happened, but did not confirm the number of casualties.
