DUBAI — A 16-year-old Jordanian girl was killed and five other Jordanians were injured in a road accident that occurred Friday on the Dubai-Sharjah highway in the United Arab Emirate, according to police.
Col Saeed Bin Suliman, director of the Rashidiyeh Police Centre, said in a statement Saturday that the accident occurred on the Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, near Dubai Silicon Oasis.
He said that an initial investigation attributed the accident, involving a burgundy Land Cruiser, to "sudden deviation" and loss of control on the vehicle, which veered off the road and hit a concrete barrier.
The injured suffered fair-to-serious injuries, police said.
