Accident occurred on SZR around 4am, hit a Police car and rolled. Perhaps the specific details of injuries should be confidential from a public forum and with respect to the thread starter, discussed on the EK dedicated forum.
As an aside, 4200+ pilots going to & from work on average 12 times a month. That's around 50,000 journeys per month or 600,000 a year. Statistically, there is bound to be one or two accidents a year and would not be unique to Dubai. I personally know of several cabin crew who tragically died in road accidents in the UK, driving themselves home after long night duties. One was decapitated as the car went under a lorry. Insurance Companies normally place a premium on policies involving flight and cabin crew as they're well aware of the tiredness we face after work.
I know this Company monitor drivers quite closely regarding working hours, breaks etc but no amount of rest can prevent tiredness and errors in the early hours. Ironically, 4am is THE most dangerous time for alertness as the core body temperature is at it's lowest. Next time matey asks you to turn up the heat as he's feeling cold, look at the clock. Between 3am and 5am.....always!
Whilst blessed with some of the best quality roads in the World, they are unfortunately inversely related to the idiots that pervade them! It is, without doubt, the biggest threat that we and our families have to face on a daily basis in what would otherwise be a very safe City
Wishing both driver and occupant a speedy recovery.
