Six expatriates were charred to death when their 4X4 vehicle collided with another vehicle in Bahja, some 20 km off Haima on the Salalah road, on Monday evening, said the Royal Oman Police (ROP) sources. According to sources, the victims include four Indians and two Emiratis. More details are awaited. The bodies were burnt beyond recognition, it was learnt. The 4X4 vehicle was driven by Emiratis and the other vehicle by the Indian expatriates.


The remains of the six victims have been kept in Wusta and Haima hospitals.


Last week, seven tourists from Saudi Arabia were killed and five injured in an accident near Haima.


The ROP has urged visitors to drive safe. “It’s a prerequisite to check the vehicle before setting off on a long journey,” said an ROP source.


“Do not drive when you are fatigued or not able to concentrate on the road. Take a break before you can proceed further,” the source added.
