14 Dead, Including Three from Kerala, in Massive Fujairah Crash
A tragic truck crash in Fujairah has left 14 dead and 30 injured, including three members of a Kerala family.
A devastating Fujairah truck accident on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road has resulted in the deaths of 14 people and left 30 others injured after a massive fire broke out following a collision.
A Night of Terror on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road
The horrific incident occurred just before midnight on the night of Wednesday, November 11-12, 2026. According to reports, a truck driver lost control of the vehicle near the entrance to Fujairah city, striking another vehicle before overturning into a heavily congested lane of traffic.
The collision ignited a catastrophic fire that rapidly spread, engulfing 18 cars and five trucks. The intensity of the blaze made the scene extremely dangerous for those involved.
Tragedy for Kerala Family
Among the 14 victims are three members of a single family from Vengara, Kunnumpuram, in Malappuram, Kerala. The deceased have been identified as:
- Mohamed Asmil Siddique (21)
- Misna Jubin Siddique (21, twin of Mohamed)
- Muhammed Faiz (3, their nephew)
The twins were students pursuing online degrees after completing their higher secondary education in Fujairah. Their father, Siddique TK, who operates a cafeteria in Fujairah, was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
Four other family members traveling in the Toyota Fortuner managed to survive the crash, though they sustained injuries. These survivors include the mother, Arifa; the elder daughter, Farzana, who is the mother of the deceased toddler; and two other children.
Victims and Medical Update
Due to the severity of the burns caused by the fire, authorities have had to rely on DNA testing to identify the 14 victims. The deceased represent several nationalities, including citizens from the UAE, Oman, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Jordan, and Egypt.
Regarding the 30 injured individuals, 15 have already been discharged from the hospital, while the remaining 15 continue to receive medical care.
Official Response and Funeral Arrangements
The Indian Consulate in Dubai is currently coordinating with UAE authorities to provide necessary support to the affected families. In Kerala, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan expressed his deep condolences and has instructed NORKA ROOTS to assist the grieving family in Malappuram.
Funeral services for the three victims from Kerala are scheduled for Friday following Juma prayers at the Fujairah Old Etisalat Mosque, with plans for a joint burial in the UAE.
