Abu Dhabi – A young man was killed after a high-speed chase with police led to gunshots being fired and a deadly collision in Al Ain.
The incident took place at around 5 am on Monday, when Abu Dhabi police patrols noticed that a man was speeding and driving in a reckless manner.
After signalling him to stop, the man ignored police instructions and made a run for it. Police patrols chased and fired two warning shots in the air as he continued to flee.
Instead of heeding the police warning, the man took out his own weapon and fired back at the patrol vehicles.
He rammed his car into one of the police cars, which caused his car to overturn.
The man sustained serious injuries in the collision, and he was taken to the hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit. He succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday morning.
