Egypt bus collision kills at least 12 people

Egypt road accident Cairo-Asyut Western Desert Road tourist bus crash Giza traffic fatalities

A major traffic accident occurred on the Cairo-Asyut Western Desert Road near the Giza Pyramids when a tourist bus collided with a truck. The collision resulted in significant casualties, with initial reports citing 13 deaths and 34 injuries, though later updates from the Ministry of Health and Population adjusted the figures to 12 dead and 30 injured.

Emergency services and cranes were deployed to the scene to clear the wreckage, as the front section of the bus was completely severed. The injured were transported to a hospital in Giza for medical treatment. Authorities are currently conducting an investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.

This incident follows a pattern of frequent road accidents in Egypt, which officials often attribute to reckless driving and poor vehicle maintenance. Last year, nearly 6,000 people died in traffic accidents across the country.
