FUJAIRAH: Three members of an Indian expat family from Kerala, including 21-year-old twin siblings and a three-year-old toddler, were killed in a horrific multi-vehicle road accident in Fujairah early Thursday morning. Four other family members sustained critical injuries in the crash.
The deceased have been identified as Muhammed Asmil (21), his twin sister Misna Jubin (21), and their three-year-old nephew Muhammed Faiz. They belong to the family of Siddique, a native of Kunnumppuram near A.R. Nagar in Malappuram, who operates a cafeteria business in Fujairah. Siddique is the son of the late T.K. Moitheenkutty Master, a prominent local Muslim League leader and former president of the A.R. Nagar Cooperative Bank.
The tragedy occurred around 2:00 AM on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street near the Fujairah Court House when the family’s vehicle slammed into the rear of a trailer during a chain-collision pile-up reportedly involving six vehicles. The family was returning to Fujairah after seeing off a visiting relative. The twin siblings had arrived in Fujairah on a visit visa just days prior, while Siddique, his wife, and elder daughter had recently returned to the UAE following a medical visit to Kerala.
The impact of the crash severely injured Siddique’s wife, his elder daughter Farzana, and two of her other children, who were also inside the vehicle. Emergency responders rushed the injured to Fujairah Hospital and Sheikh Khalifa Hospital, where they remain under intensive medical treatment. Fujairah Police have launched a comprehensive investigation to ascertain the exact sequence of events leading to the fatal collision.
