2025 Second HiPo#12 MVI Collision
Motor Vehicle Incident (MVI) occurred on the Muscat–Nizwa dual carriageway near Samail. A prime mover with a 40ft trailer transporting HVAC equipment (payload 2.6 tons) attempted to overtake a slow-moving third-party truck on an uphill stretch. While overtaking at 85 km/h, a civilian car approached in the fast lane and sounded its horn. The prime mover driver reacted by steering back into the second lane, causing the vehicle to collide with the rear left side of the third-party trailer. The prime mover was a total loss, and the trailer sustained major damage. No injuries were reported
How do you ensure safe speed and braking distance on uphill roads? What should you do before overtaking on multi-lane highways? Why is it critical to plan journeys realistically instead of rushing? How can fatigue impact decision-making during long-haul trips? What role does proactive communication play in preventing such incidents?
Unsafe Speed: Driver maintained 85 km/h despite uphill gradient and slow-moving traffic. Overtaking without fully scanning surrounding traffic conditions. Fatigue Risk: Incident occurred during Ramadan; possible inadequate rest. Lack of Road Signage: No warning signs for uphill climb or slow-moving trucks for 4 km before the location. Driver Behavior: Haste to complete delivery and return same day.
