Minya, Egypt: Four dead and dozens injured in dual road accidents

Four people were killed and dozens injured following two separate vehicle collisions on the Eastern Desert Road in the Beni Mazar district of Minya Governorate, Egypt.

The first accident involved a collision between a passenger bus, a microbus, and a heavy truck near Sheikh Fadl, resulting in two deaths and 23 injuries. The second incident involved a collision between a minibus and a heavy truck, which caused two additional deaths and 37 injuries.

Local hospitals in Samalut, Al-Sadr, and Beni Mazar raised their emergency readiness levels to manage the influx of patients. More than 20 ambulances were deployed to the scene. While many of the 35 injured individuals have since been discharged following medical stabilization, medical teams continue to monitor those still undergoing treatment.

Governor Emad Kedwany has directed health directorates to provide full medical care and support to the families of the deceased. Authorities are working to clear the accident sites and secure traffic flow on the road while the Public Prosecution investigates the circumstances of both crashes.
