DUBAI: Police in Oman say a bus crash has killed at least 18 people and injured 14 others in the sultanate.

Police made the announcement in a tweet Tuesday morning. They said the crash occurred on the Ibri-Fahud Road between a bus, a truck and a car. Fahud and Ibri are cities west of the capital, Muscat.

A telephone number for an Oman police spokesman rang unanswered Tuesday.

A brief report on the state-run Oman News Agency said at least some of the dead were foreigners. It said those injured were taken to local hospitals.

Oman is a country on the far east of the Arabian Peninsula whose neighbors include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
