Woman killed in Dubai accident, pickup driver and her brother jailed, fined
Dubai Misdemeanour Court has convicted two drivers involved in a severe traffic accident which claimed the life of an Arab woman. The court held both drivers, an Asian pickup driver and the driver of the vehicle which collided with the pickup, jointly responsible for the incident. The pickup driver was sentenced to three months in jail and fined Dhs20,000. He was also banned from transferring or depositing any funds, either personally or through others, without prior approval from the Central Bank of the UAE in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, for two years following the completion of his sentence. Also, his driving licence was suspended for one year, and he was ordered to pay Dhs140,000 as blood money to the heirs of the deceased woman. The second driver was fined Dhs5,000, had his driving licence suspended for three months, and was ordered to pay Dhs60,000 in blood money, as he was also found responsible for the accident that resulted in his sister's death. The incident occurred in January 2024 when Dubai Police received a report of a severe accident on the Dubai-Al Ain Road. A police patrol and ambulance rushed to the scene, where a policeman observed a vehicle which had crashed into a small pickup stopped in the fast lane. The policeman affirmed that the pickup driver and two passengers, including the woman, were injured. The woman died at the scene, while the other driver was airlifted to a hospital for treatment. Forensic analysis revealed that the pickup driver was under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident, while the second driver tested negative for substance use. An eyewitness travelling with the pickup driver stated they were on the way from Jebel Ali to Al Ain when the pickup collided with a concrete barrier on the left side of the road. On being interrogated, the pickup driver denied responsibility for the accident but admitted to drug abuse before the incident. He claimed he stopped in the fast lane because he had crashed into the barrier. The second driver stated he was travelling to Al Ain with his sister when he suddenly encountered the pickup stopped in the fast lane without warning signals, leading to the collision. The technical committee's report concluded that both drivers were at fault: the pickup driver failed to take necessary precautions when stopping in the middle of the road, while the second driver did not maintain a safe distance. A technical report from Dubai Police's Transport and Rescue Department affirmed the pickup was roadworthy and had no mechanical issues which justified its stoppage. The court ruled that both drivers were responsible for the accident which claimed the woman's death.

Spargelzeit in Dubai: A German culinary tradition blooms at Ernst
Sponsored: Guten Appetit! When you think of a traditional German dining experience, you may instantly think of sausages and ham, German beer, pretzels and even gingerbread. But did you know that the list also includes the humble asparagus? It may be far from everyone's favourite list, but you truly are missing out on a delectable treat. And if you want to try it in typical German fashion, make a beeline to Ernst where the humble vegetable is put in the spotlight. The traditional Bavarian biergarten and wirtshaus at 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central is dedicating a menu to the popular German vegetable. It will be available only for a limited time, as the season for harvesting the white asparagus (which, in Germany is called Spargelzeit), usually lasts from about mid-April to the end of June. The curated menu here in Dubai will reflect the same passion that it receives in Germany, and you can expect many delicious classic Bavarian spring dishes. For starters, you will be able to enjoy Spargelcremesuppe — a comforting asparagus cream soup. If you want a healthier option, there's a fresh, crisp, refreshing asparagus salad. From here, you can move on to mains. Dishes include green or white asparagus with boiled potatoes and hollandaise. And yes, as done in traditional German-style, you can enjoy it with butter and ham. There's also chicken schnitzel, ribeye steak, grilled salmon and more. The three-course set menu is all yours to try for just Dhs140, and of course, you can pair your meal with a beer or a glass of wine from the à la carte menu. Since this is a seasonal menu, you only have until the end of May to try it. It will be available daily until 12am. Make your reservations on 050 369 8394 or email the team on dubai@ Ernst Biergarten and Wirtshaus, 25hours Hotel One Central, World Trade Centre, Dubai, menu available until May 31, Tel: (0)50 369 8394. @ernstdubai Images: Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

Restaurant review: Rialto
Buonasera, Dubai… The buzz around the newly opened Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab has been non-stop since day one, and when I finally made it there, I instantly got the hype. Rightfully so – the hotel is stunning, and every bit of the excitement is well deserved. Then I walked into Rialto. Italian dining, at its best, has that cosy, timeless feel – and Rialto nails that perfectly. It's got the warmth, the comfort, and the authenticity you'd expect from a true Italian restaurant. The vibe Old-school Italian charm with a modern edge – that's the vibe at Rialto. At the helm is Chef Roberto Rispoli, a Pompeii-born culinary talent with Michelin-starred experience, bringing the flavours of Northern Italy to Dubai. Expect a menu rooted in tradition but with a contemporary twist, all served up in a space that oozes vintage glamour – chic yet warm, stylish yet inviting. The food We started with the Crudo menu Crudo di Ricciola – Yellowtail crudo with kalamansi and lemon (Dhs120). Fresh, bright, and citrusy – exactly what you want to wake up your palate. – Yellowtail crudo with kalamansi and lemon (Dhs120). Fresh, bright, and citrusy – exactly what you want to wake up your palate. Tartare di Tonno e Caviale – Yellowtail tuna tartare with caviar (Dhs280). Easily a favourite. Then onto Antipasti, where we had Arancini alla Zafferano, Tartare di Manzo – Saffron arancini with beef tartare (Dhs85). – Saffron arancini with beef tartare (Dhs85). Tartare di Pomodoro (Dhs100). Simple yet delicious – definitely a must-try. (Dhs100). Simple yet delicious – definitely a must-try. Carpaccio al Pomodoro e Burrata Fritta – Tomato carpaccio with fried burrata (Dhs120). So perfectly creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. For pasta, it was hard to choose, but we went with Fettuccine alla Bolognese – Wagyu beef fettuccine with tomato (Dhs140). Exactly what you'd expect – comfort food at its finest. – Wagyu beef fettuccine with tomato (Dhs140). Exactly what you'd expect – comfort food at its finest. Il Raviolo di Rialto – Ricotta cheese, butter, and sake raviolo (Dhs120). Might just be my favourite from the pasta menu. For mains, we had Branzino al Guazzetto con Patate – Seabass fillet with potatoes, tomatoes, and basil (Dhs180). So flavourful, filling, yet surprisingly light. And of course, we ended with dessert with Tiramisu. Because an Italian meal without tiramisu? Unacceptable. Verdict Rialto ticks all the boxes – the vibe, the food, the experience. If you're after quality Italian food with an ambiance that actually feels Italian, this is a spot worth trying. And if you love having plenty of pasta options (because, really, who doesn't?), then Rialto should definitely be high on your list. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, Umm Suqeim 3.
