As many as 27 people have lost their lives after they were involved in two separate tragic accidents in Egypt.
About 22 people were killed in a collision between a bus and a
truck in the south-western province of Wadi El-Gedid, and 5 more people
were killed after a train derailed south of Cairo on the same
day, Egyptian sources have revealed.
According to Asharq Al-awsat English, security and health
officials said that 22 people were killed and dozens more were injured
in a collision between a bus and a truck in the Wadi El-Gedid province.
Security sources said that initial inspections indicate that
excessive speed caused the accident which occurred early yesterday
morning.
The bus was transporting workers from Giza (a province adjacent to Cairo) to Wadi El-Gedid.
The Middle East News Agency (MENA) quoted a security source as
saying that ambulances rushed to the scene of the accident on the
Farafrah – El-Bahariya Road and transported the injured and dead bodies
to hospital.
