The 28-year-old mother and her nine-month-old daughter died from the impact. Her husband sustained severe injuries, and the couple's three-year-old daughter was also hurt. 

Emergency responders rushed to the scene and transferred both surviving family members to Shaikh Khalifa Hospital in Fujairah for urgent medical treatment.
