Abu Dhabi Police have released surveillance video of a driver who broke several traffic rules before crashing into a vehicle that had pulled over for an emergency.
Police say the motorist did not use the indicator to change lanes and overtook on the hard shoulder, which is an area designated for vehicles to safely stop when necessary without disrupting the movement of others.
