A tragic multi-vehicle collision on Fujairah's Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road has claimed the lives of three Indian nationals, including young twins.
A devastating multi-vehicle collision on a Fujairah highway has claimed the lives of three Indian nationals, including 21-year-old twins and a three-year-old child, in the early hours of Thursday, November 12, 2026.
The accident occurred on the Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road as the family was traveling back to Fujairah after dropping off a relative in Sharjah. According to preliminary reports, the vehicle driven by 21-year-old Muhammed Asmil rear-ended a truck near the Fujairah Court House. The impact was so severe that it resulted in a catastrophic collision, crushing the car.
Emergency Response and Casualties
Emergency services, including Fujairah Police, Civil Defence, and ambulance teams, rushed to the scene to assist the victims. Despite their efforts, the three individuals were pronounced dead at the site of the accident. The deceased have been identified as:
- Muhammed Asmil, 21
- Misna Jubin, 21 (Asmil's twin sister)
- Muhammed Faiz, 3 (their nephew)
While the tragedy has left the community in shock, four other family members managed to survive the crash. They are currently receiving medical treatment for their injuries. Among the survivors are Arifa, the mother of the twins, and Farzana, the twins' sister, who had recently traveled from Kerala for a medical check-up.
A Family Devastated
The victims were part of a family originally from Cheppiyalam village in the Malappuram district of Kerala. The twins were students who actively assisted in their father's business, Eva Cafeteria. They had been working toward completing their degrees in the UAE with plans to eventually return to their home in India.
The father, Siddique, owner of the cafeteria, was not in the vehicle at the time of the fatal accident. The family holds a respected position in their home community, being descendants of TK Moitheen Kutty Master, a former cooperative bank president and local leader.
Ongoing Investigation
Fujairah Police have confirmed that the incident involved a lorry and several cars. An investigation is currently underway to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision. Authorities have issued a plea to the public to refrain from spreading unverified information regarding the accident on social media.
The Indian Consulate in Dubai has been notified and is currently coordinating with local UAE authorities to provide necessary assistance to the grieving family. As the family processes the loss, they are reportedly considering burying the three victims in the UAE.
This incident marks the second fatal collision in Fujairah within a single week, following another accident that claimed two lives earlier in the week.
