Road accident in Muscat: three dead, nine injured


(MENAFN) Three people died in a road accident near Adam, bringing the number of fatalities on the accident prone 'blackspot' road in Muscat to more than 30 in the last six months, Times of Oman reported.

Road safety campaigners say drivers must be made aware of the dangers on the road around Adam and seatbelts on passenger coaches could help save lives.

They were among 38 passengers heading to Adam when their bus collided with another vehicle, said the Royal Oman Police (ROP) on its Twitter account.

"A collision between a bus carrying 38 passengers and another vehicle 10 kilometres after the Ghaba rest stop in the direction of Adam, resulted in the death of three people and wounded nine others, with varying levels of injuries", ROP said in a statement.
