Dubai Police said the incident was reported to their Command and Control Centre and traffic patrols were quickly dispatched.

According to Brigadier Jumaa Salem bin Suwaidan, Director of the General Department of Traffic, initial investigations revealed the female driver lost control due to sudden confusion behind the wheel.
