One Indian killed, nine injured in Oman road accident
One Indian national was killed and nine others were injured when a vehicle veered off the road in Oman on Saturday, August 22, 2026. The accident occurred on Sultan Said bin Teymur Street in the Wilayat of Haima, according to the Royal Oman Police (ROP). The ROP Air Wing airlifted two of the injured from Al Hema Governorate to Nizwa Hospital, while the others were taken by ambulance.
The ROP did not disclose the cause of the accident. Khaleej Times reported that authorities had warned of low visibility on the highway due to thunderstorms, heavy rain and blowing dust. The Siasat.com noted that this was the second medical evacuation on the same road in two days, a previous incident involved an Omani citizen being flown from Haima Hospital to Nizwa Hospital.
