A vehicle crashed into a store at a shopping complex in Umm Suqeim on Sunday afternoon (August 31). The incident occurred when an SUV drove into the Mumuso store at the Spinneys building in Jumeirah. Shattered glass and broken window panes remained scattered around the site for several hours after the crash.
Dubai resident Ninu H. came across the incident when she visited Spinneys with her children and niece. “I went around 3:30pm, and at the time, the area had been cordoned off by officials,” she said.
“The glass window of Mumuso was completely shattered, and there were many broken panes scattered around. The car also had cracks on its windshield and rear shield. I think the incident took place earlier in the day because by the time we went there were no police officers or ambulance on site.”
