Muscat: A 29-year-old Indian expatriate died in a road accident in Oman, media here has reported.
P. Najeeb, who worked in a private firm in Nizwa, 140 km from Oman’s capital Muscat, was killed when his car hit a divider and overturned while he was on his way to Nizwa from Muscat Friday, Times of Oman reported Saturday.
