Abu Dhabi Indian Crash Claims Four Lives
The Abu Dhabi Indian crash early Sunday morning claimed the lives of three young siblings and their domestic worker. The Kerala-origin family was returning to Dubai after attending the Liwa Festival when their vehicle crashed on the highway. As a result, the Abu Dhabi Indian crash immediately shocked the Indian expatriate community, especially because the family had travelled from Ras Al Khaimah with their five children for the desert event.
Three Children and Domestic Worker Die on the Spot
The crash killed the children — Ashaz (14), Ammaar (12) and Ayyash (5) — along with their domestic worker, Bushra. Emergency teams quickly moved the injured survivors to a hospital in Abu Dhabi. Doctors are treating parents Abdul Latheef and Ruksana and their children Ezza (10) and Azzam (7). One child remains in critical condition. Relatives and friends rushed to the hospital soon after the Abu Dhabi Indian crash, offering immediate support.
Family Requests Burial Permission in Abu Dhabi
The grieving parents want to bury their three sons in the UAE. They believe that a burial in Abu Dhabi, where the Abu Dhabi Indian crash occurred, is more meaningful. However, this requires special approval, as expatriates must normally be buried in the emirate that issued their residency visa. Social workers are helping the family request the exemption. Meanwhile, arrangements for repatriating Bushra’s remains are underway.
Community Supports Family After Abu Dhabi Indian Crash
Volunteers and community organisations continue to support the family as they cope with the emotional shock of the Abu Dhabi Indian crash. Many UAE residents have offered help with medical care, legal procedures and funeral arrangements. The tragedy highlights the risks of late-night travel and the heavy toll such incidents take on expatriate families. Members of the Indian diaspora across the UAE are praying for the injured survivors and for strength for the grieving parents.
