Truck jumps traffic light on UAE road
It hit a traffic signal before coming to a stop.
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
A tragic accident was avoided recently after a truck jumped a traffic light when it was yellow and the driver lost control of the vehicle.
A video shared by Sharjah Police on Twitter shows a traffic signal displaying the yellow light at an intersection, and vehicles gradually coming to a halt, when suddenly a trailer truck carrying a large container veers into the picture.
The driver of the truck swerves into the left lane from the right, and having lost control of the vehicle, runs into the grassy patch on the left of the road, hitting the traffic signal. It comes to a stop right in the middle of the intersection.
Thankfully, it does not hit any other vehicle.
The video ends with the message: Dear drivers! A yellow light doesn't necessarily mean 'hurry'.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
