DHI QAR – Four people from one family were killed and another injured Sunday evening after their car overturned on the International Highway near Imam Ali Air Base, according to a security source who spoke to 964media.

“Four people died and another was injured this evening, Sunday, in a car rollover accident on the international highway near Imam Ali Air Base,” the source said.
