Three Kerala Expats Killed in Tragic Fujairah Highway Crash
A tragic multi-vehicle collision on the Fujairah Highway has claimed the lives of three members of a Kerala expatriate family.
A devastating multi-vehicle collision on the Fujairah Highway has claimed the lives of three members of a Kerala expatriate family, including 21-year-old twins and a three-year-old toddler.
The accident occurred at approximately 2:00 AM on Thursday, November 12, 2026, on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, near the Fujairah Court House. The pile-up involved a lorry and several other vehicles, resulting in a catastrophic scene in the early hours of the morning.
Victims Identified
The deceased have been identified as Muhammed Asmil and Misna Jubin, 21-year-old twins, and their three-year-old nephew, Muhammed Fayis.
The victims were the children and grandchild of Siddique Thuppilikkatt, a Fujairah resident and owner of the Eva Cafeteria. The family hails from Cheppiyalam village in the AR Nagar panchayat of Malappuram, Kerala. Siddique is the son of local Muslim League leader TK Moitheen Kutty Master.
A Family Torn Apart
The family was traveling back to Fujairah from Sharjah at the time of the crash. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that the toddler, Muhammed Fayis, and his mother, Farzana, had arrived in the UAE only two days prior to the accident to seek medical consultation.
Muhammed Asmil and Misna Jubin were pursuing higher education in the UAE while also assisting with their father’s business, with aspirations to eventually return to their home in Kerala.
Survivors and Official Response
While the loss is immense, four other family members survived the wreckage. They have been identified as:
- Arifa (Siddique’s wife)
- Farzana (Siddique’s daughter)
- Two of Farzana’s other children
Medical reports indicate that the survivors sustained injuries but are currently out of danger.
Fujairah Police have confirmed the collision and have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Authorities have also urged the public to refrain from spreading rumors while the inquiry is ongoing.
The Consulate General of India in Dubai is reportedly providing assistance to the bereaved family. The bodies of the deceased are currently held at the Fujairah hospital mortuary, and the family is considering whether to conduct the burial within the UAE.
