A second accident on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, this time near the Al Muhaisnah Bridge heading toward Abu Dhabi, was slowing down traffic during the rush hour.
At 8.15am, a crash was reported on Sheikh Zayed Road just before Oasis Centre towards Abu Dhabi causing congestion and long tailbacks, according to TrafficDXB.
"Most of the #Dubai schools have reopened after a short break," @TrafficDXB tweeted. "With that we expect the traffic to increase with additional school runs."
