Dubai bus crash kills 13 Asian workers

DUBAI: A bus overturned and hit a lorry parked on the hard shoulder of a motorway outside Dubai on Saturday, killing 13 Asian workers on board and injuring 16, police said. The crash happened on Emirates Road, a busy route that connects the capital Abu Dhabi to the north of the United Arab Emirates, bypassing Dubai itself. Police did not immediately specify the nationalities of the dead in the accident in the Dubai suburb of Ruwayyah. Expatriates, many of them Asian, make up the great majority of Dubai´s 2.2 million population.
