In a heartbreaking incident, nine individuals have died and 73 others were rescued after a bus overturned in the Khorfakkan area of Sharjah. Preliminary investigations suggest that the accident was caused by suspected brake failure. This tragic event has sent shockwaves throughout the UAE, prompting officials to emphasize the need for increased caution on mountain roads.

The accident occurred in a hilly region near Khorfakkan, a well-known tourist spot celebrated for its stunning landscapes. Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene, helping survivors and transporting them to local hospitals. Among the injured, several are reported to be in critical condition, leading medical teams to work tirelessly to stabilize their health.

Sharjah Police have initiated a thorough investigation to uncover the precise cause of the accident. Initial findings indicate that brake failure was a significant factor, causing the bus to veer off the road and flip over. Officials have stressed the necessity of regular vehicle maintenance, especially for heavy vehicles navigating steep and winding roads.

This tragic event highlights the critical need for road safety measures and thorough vehicle inspections. Authorities are calling for stricter enforcement of safety regulations, particularly in areas with difficult terrains. As the nation grieves the loss of life, efforts are being made to prevent similar accidents in the future.
