A motorist who tried to film a flooded valley in Al Ain while driving was injured after the car flipped over.

The vehicle appeared to have veered off the road.

Following the incident in Wadi Sa'aa, Abu Dhabi Police are once again highlighting the dangers of distracted driving and the importance of staying away from valleys and other flood-prone areas.

A red alert was earlier issued for several parts of Al Ain which is currently experiencing heavy rain and hail.
