Indian national killed, 9 injured in Oman road accident
An Indian national was killed and nine others were injured after a vehicle veered off the road in Oman on Saturday, according to the Royal Oman Police. The incident occurred on Sultan Said bin Teymur Street, a road in the Al Hema Governorate.
The Royal Oman Police said in a post on X that the crash resulted in one fatality and injuries to nine people of Indian nationality. The injured were subsequently transferred to Nizwa Hospital by ambulance vehicles to receive medical care.
Given the severity of the injuries, the police Air Wing carried out an operation to airlift two of the injured to Nizwa Hospital. The remaining seven injured were taken to the hospital by road ambulances.
A Malayala Manorama report identified the deceased as Sulekha Shahin, a native of Kundara in Kollam district, and said the passengers were members of two Malayali families based in the UAE travelling together to Oman on a trip. The report added that the vehicle reportedly lost control, veered off the road and overturned, and that the injured include children and their parents, all receiving treatment at Nizwa Hospital.
The Royal Oman Police did not provide further details about the cause of the accident. Khaleej Times had earlier reported that authorities had warned of low visibility on the highway due to thunderstorms, heavy rain and blowing dust, though this has not been confirmed as a factor in the crash.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
