The incident dates back to December 2024 when Dubai Police received a report of a collision on Al Asayel Street in Dubai.

According to a policeman’s testimony, upon arriving at the scene, he found the motorcyclist lying on the side of the road with moderate injuries, so he was immediately transported to the hospital for treatment.

Investigations revealed that the suspect drove negligently and without attention, failing to maintain a safe distance from the motorcycle, which resulted in the accident.
