According to a tweet by Dubai Media Office, three cars were damaged by fire, with one person taken to hospital for treatment. No reason was given for the crane collapse but Dubai was being hit by strong winds on Friday.

The tweet said civil defence teams were dealing with the blaze while authorities were “handling the situation to ensure the safety of everyone on site”. Motorists are being advised to avoid the area near the Crowne Plaza hotel.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said Dubai Metro services had been stopped between Jafiliya and Business Bay stations near the location of the crane collapse “as a precaution”. Replacement buses have been put into service to ferry stranded passengers, it added.
