Sharjah: Two adults, three children and an unborn baby died in two separate accidents on Thursday night, police said.

In the first accident, two Indian girls, Ayeesha Diya, 6, and her sister Dina Ruqiya, 3, who were sleeping in the back of their car parked on the hard shoulder on the Al Dhaid-Sharjah highway, died instantly when another car slammed into them at 11.30pm, police said.

Their pregnant 29-year-old mother was rushed to Al Qasimi Hospital where a baby boy was delivered after an emergency operation. The condition of the baby was not immediately known, but the mother is under intensive care."
