The investigating team identified the driver — a 25-year-old man — and impounded his vehicle, Maj Ahmed Al Naqbi, director of traffic and patrols at Ras Al Khaimah Police, was quoted as saying.
The driver was referred to authorities on charges of endangering his life and the lives of others, Maj Al Naqbi revealed on the force’s social media accounts.
Urging drivers to respect traffic regulations, he said that driving a vehicle in a manner that endangers life invites a fine of AED2,000 ($544), 23 traffic points on a driving licence and confiscation of a vehicle for 60 days.
