Woman who died in Oman car crash was a teacher

Dubai - Former students of Wajiha, who recognised her after Khaleej Times wrote about the accident on Monday, said they were shocked.

Wajiha Wasif, the Pakistani woman who died in a car crash on Saturday during a trip to Salalah, Oman, with her husband, was a former teacher at a Karachi university.
Former students of Wajiha, who recognised her after Khaleej Times wrote about the accident on Monday, said they were shocked.
"She taught us for two years in the Commerce Department at Jinan University for Women in Karachi," said Huma Naz, a former student who is now based in Dubai. "She got married and we moved on, too.... I later found out that she was based in Dubai but we didn't get to meet much."
Mohammed Wasif Khan and his wife, Wajiha - both in their early 30s - travelled to Salalah to celebrate Eid, relatives said on Sunday.
Around 4pm on Saturday, their car, which Wasif was driving, met with an accident about 150km from Muscat. Wajiha is said to have died on the spot while Wasif is recuperating in a critical condition at the Nizwa Hospital near Salalah.
"She was my teacher in university," posted Nimrah Ahmed on KT's Facebook page.
Wasif and Wajiha were married two years ago. They moved to Sharjah nearly six months ago from Malaysia. An official from the Pakistan Consulate in Dubai said all legal matters were being looked into.
