The boy who has been named as Abdullah Al Bedwawi, tragically died after he was trapped in his car, which was swept away in the Ghubrah Valley in Hatta on Wednesday.

Abdullah’s two brothers managed to escape, but were unable to save their younger brother from the submerged car. The pressure of the water submerging the vehicle overpowered them.
