Salalah: A five-year-old girl lost her life in a tragic car accident in Oman. The victim has been identified as Jasa Harin, daughter of Navas and Rasiya, originally from Keecheri near Mattannur in Kannur, and currently residing in Nizwa, Oman.

The accident occurred around 3:30 am near Adam while the family was travelling back to Nizwa after a visit to Salalah.
