Twelve people have reportedly died when a bus collided with a truck near the resort city of Hurghada in eastern Egypt.
A court official told newsmen that prosecutors had opened an inquiry into the accident on the road between Hurghada and Ras Gharib, along the Red Sea coast.
The crash happened yesterday, just days after 20 people were killed when a minibus flipped and plunged into a canal in the Nile Delta.
Egypt’s roads are notoriously dangerous and often badly maintained, while drivers often break speed limits and other traffic rules.
The country saw seven thousand deaths in traffic accidents last year.
