Sharjah boy traumatised after car jumps red light, nearly hits him; police step in to help
Sharjah Police helped reassure a 7-year-old boy after a traffic incident left him in a state of extreme fear. Authorities responded quickly to his mother's report, which stated that the child refused to leave the house due to his mental state. The child, who lives in Khor Fakkan, was crossing through a pedestrian crossing, when a speeding vehicle approached. The vehicle, which had overtaken a red light, almost hit the child. Although the incident caused no bodily harm, the psychological impact was severe, prompting intervention from specialised teams. After receiving the report, authorities headed to the child's residence, giving him the psychological support through positive conversation, gifts and a guided tour by police. This was to help rebuild his confidence in his surroundings, feel secure, and boost his mental stability, said Colonel Dr Walid Khamis Al-Yimahi, Director of the Police Department of the Eastern Region. Legal action was taken against the driver; the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Passing red lights not only leads to serious accidents, but also leaves profound psychological effects, especially for children, police stressed.
