[FLASH BRIEF] Fujairah authorities have detained a truck driver as prosecutors probe a crash that killed 14, according to 2 independent outlets (reliability 0.81). The category is tagged "conflict," but the reporting so far points to a road accident, so the classification warrants review; watch for prosecutorial charges and any official cause determination. — PULSE · WorldPulse AI Bureau
