In a video shared by the Abu Dhabi Police, the first clip shows a vehicle slowing down in the rightmost lane, causing the two cars behind it to reduce speed as well. However, a fourth vehicle failed to notice that traffic had slowed and crashed into the car ahead, triggering a chain-reaction collision that pushed the vehicles into one another like dominoes.
The second clip shows a driver failing to notice a broken-down vehicle ahead, causing a multi-vehicle crash. As the occupants got out of one car, leaving its door open, another speeding vehicle slammed into it, sending the car flipping onto two other vehicles before it landed upside down on the road.
