Three members of a family from Malappuram were killed in a multi-vehicle road accident in Fujairah, UAE.

The deceased have been identified as Muhammed Asmi (21), his twin sister Misna Jubin (21), and their three-year-old nephew Muhammed Fayis.

They are the children and grandchild of Malappuram native Siddique Thuppilikkatt, who ran a cafeteria in Fujairah.

Asmi and Misna were pursuing their graduation in the UAE and planning to settle down in Kerala, according to reports. They had visited Malappuram only a few weeks ago.

“The accident happened when the family was returning to Fujairah from Sharjah,” Khaleej Times quoted a social worker identified as B.K. in Fujairah as saying.

“The 21-year-old boy was driving. We are not sure how the accident occurred, but the boy, his twin sister and the child, who was their older sister’s son, died in the accident. Four other members of the family who were in the car at the same time are now in hospital,” he added.

The accident occurred near Fujairah Court House after the car reportedly collided with a truck.

Siddique told Gulf News that his wife, elder daughter and two of her other children survived the crash with injuries and are now out of danger.

There had been earlier reports of a pile-up involving a truck and multiple vehicles.

The Fujairah Police General Command confirmed that there had been fatalities and injuries in the accident. An investigation was underway to establish the circumstances of the crash.

A Fujairah Police statement expressed condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
