An injured Indian national was airlifted by the Royal Oman Police to Nizwa Hospital after a road accident near Haima in the Al Wusta Governorate.
- The incident happened about 40 kilometers south of the Haima wilayat.
- The official update was released on the evening of Saturday, August 29, 2026.
- The patient is now getting medical treatment and remains under close medical follow-up.
The identity or age of the patient, his occupation in Oman, the specific vehicle involved, and the cause of the crash have not yet been disclosed by authorities.
Haima is a critical transit point for traffic between Muscat, Salalah, and Duqm. Because of the remote desert terrain and the distance to major medical facilities, the ROP used air evacuation to make sure the patient got specialist care promptly.
This operation follows a series of recent incidents in the Haima highway corridor. On August 22, 2026, a vehicle accident on Sultan Said bin Taimur Road caused the death of one Indian national and injuries to nine others, with two of the injured being airlifted to Nizwa Hospital by the ROP. Additionally, on the morning of August 29, 2026, a two-vehicle collision near Haima claimed one life and left six people injured, where two of those casualties were airlifted to Nizwa Hospital while others were treated at Haima Hospital.
