Fujairah Crown Prince Shaikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi has offered his condolences to an Indian family who lost three members in a tragic road accident in Fujairah that claimed 14 lives and left 30 others injured.
Siddique Thuppilikkat Moideen lost his twin children, 21, and grandson, 3, in the disaster.
Shaikh Mohammed expressed his deepest sympathies following the devastating crash, which occurred on Thursday.
Following the completion of identification procedures, the UAE Interior Ministry confirmed that 10 Emirati nationals and four Indian nationals died in the incident.
A 13-year-old boy from Gujarat, India, also died in the crash.
He was on vacation in the UAE and heading to the airport with his family when the tragedy occurred.
His parents, elder sister and the Pakistani driver of their car are undergoing hospital treatment, according to Gulf News.
Fujairah policewoman Hajar Salem Khamis Al Mismari was identified among the Emirati victims.
Shaikh Mohammed performed the funeral prayer for a second Emirati victim, Ahmed Thani Juma Al Mujairdi, on Friday.
According to Fujairah Police, the accident involved 23 vehicles, comprising 18 cars and five lorries.
Initial investigations indicated that a truck driver lost control of his vehicle, colliding with another car before overturning and striking several vehicles that had stopped due to traffic congestion.
The collision sparked a fire that spread across multiple vehicles, prompting an emergency response from police, ambulance crews, rescue teams and Civil Defence personnel.
The truck driver has been detained while investigations into the crash continue.
