UAE prosecution orders truck driver’s pretrial detention in Fujairah crash inquiry

Asharq News, citing WAM, reported that the UAE Public Prosecution ordered the truck driver’s pretrial detention after questioning. The prosecution’s preliminary inspection described two successive incidents: a vehicle struck a stopped truck; later, a truck carrying two containers struck several vehicles and overturned in an area where the right lane was closed for maintenance. The prosecution ordered technical examinations, including brake-system checks and reviews of tracking and speed-recording data. It said the investigation was continuing to establish the circumstances and any legal responsibility. The inspection is preliminary, and the detention order is procedural, not a finding of guilt.
