Sharjah24: After causing moderate to serious injuries to a woman, the driver fled the scene, refusing to face his social and moral obligations. The General Command of Sharjah Police (SP) had the driver arrested within 48 hours of receiving the report.
According to a report received by the Sharjah Police Operations Room at 6:07 PM on Sunday, a lady was run over and sustained moderate to serious injuries in an accident on King Faisal Street in the Fourth Industrial Area. The driver responsible for the incident ran away.
The team was able to track down the culprit, apprehend him, and confiscate the vehicle he was driving when the accident occurred in less than 48 hours.
Sharjah Police stated that leaving the scene of an accident is criminal as well, not just the run-over itself. The authorities encouraged the drivers involved in the accident to take responsibility since the person responsible had committed two offences.
The Sharjah Police have urged residents to exercise caution when crossing the street and to only cross at designated crosswalks, stressing that they will not tolerate any behaviour that endangers the lives of others on the road, including violations of traffic laws and other rules.
