DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — State media in the United Arab Emirates say a woman from Europe has died after her car plunged six stories from a parking lot in the capital, Abu Dhabi.
The official WAM news agency quoted Abu Dhabi police Maj. Saeed al-Dhaheri saying the accident happened at 8 a.m. Sunday morning while the woman was backing up the car.
The victim was described as a 54-year-old European. Her nationality was not released.
Police say an investigation is underway.
Oil-rich Abu Dhabi, like nearby Dubai, has seen a boom in the construction of high-rise towers in recent years that have transformed the city's skyline.
