The incident occurred during peak commuting hours, when the route typically carries heavy traffic heading into the Capital.

As a result, congestion quickly built up across multiple lanes, with motorists reporting slow-moving traffic and, in some areas, complete standstills. Emergency services and authorities were on the scene as efforts were underway to manage the situation and restore traffic flow.

In response to the disruption, navigation platforms such as Google Maps redirected drivers away from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road toward Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Emirates Road (E611) to help ease congestion and minimise delays for commuters.
