The Dubai Traffic Court has fined two Asian men after finding them both responsible for a road accident in which one ran over the other.

Court documents show that the incident happened when a taxi driver, who was not driving carefully enough, struck a pedestrian. The victim suffered several injuries.

However, investigators also discovered that the pedestrian was crossing the road from a non-designated area, which is against traffic rules. An expert’s report concluded that both the driver and the pedestrian shared responsibility for the accident.

The court ordered the taxi driver, who did not attend the hearing, to pay a fine of Dh4,000 for unintentionally causing injury. The pedestrian, who was present in court and denied any wrongdoing, was fined Dh200 for breaking pedestrian rules. The judge dismissed his denial after reviewing the evidence.
