2 brothers die in Oman car crash

Two Bangladeshi brothers died in a road accident in Oman's Sinaw city, around 200km from Muscat, early Tuesday.

Two other teenagers, also Bangladesh, were injured in the accident. One of them is in critical condition.

The dead were identified as Jara, 14, and Adib, 12, originally from Mymensingh. Their mother is a doctor at Sinaw Hospital.

Injured Jihad, 14, son of Sheikh expatriate businessman Jasim, took his father's car out around 3:00am, according to the Bangladesh embassy and community organisers.

He picked up Jara, Adib and Atiq, son of expatriate businessman Md Karim, from their homes.

As the roads were empty, Jihad drove at high speed. He lost control of the steering and crashed the car on Adam Road, leaving Jara and Adib dead on the spot.

Jihad was taken to Muscat's Khoula Hospital last afternoon in critical condition. Atiq was admitted to a local hospital in Sinaw. The bodies of the two brothers were kept in a local morgue.

They are all students of Bangladesh School in Sinaw. None of the four had driver's licenses.
