Six people, all of them Belgian were killed and 26 injured in a coach crash that took place in Southern Egypt, yesterday.
The bus has overturned causing the immediate death of six people and severe injuries in all the other passengers. Four of the injured are still in a critical condition, and they have been transported to the Intensive Care Unit of a Cairo hospital.
Sources say the driver lost control of the bus carrying the Belgian tourists on the way from Aswan to the ancient temple of Abu Simbel; unfortunately, poor roads cause quite a high number of such accidents in Egypt every year.
All the Belgian tourists have been immediately attended by Egyptian authorities and those who were in conditions to travel were transported back to Belgium.
