The car was heading to Salalah from Nizwa, police said. The accident occurred when the driver lost control of the vehicle after one of its tyres burst.

The car turned over three times and landed on the opposite side of the road. The injured were taken to the Sultan Qaboos Hospital in Salalah.

In another incident, a nine-month-old girl was killed when a fire broke out in a house in the wilayat of Rustaq. Firemen extinguished the blaze and took the injured to hospital. Initial investigations indicated that a short circuit in an A/c unit caused the fire.
