At least 13 people have lost their lives in a severe road accident in Egypt. The tragedy occurred on the highway connecting the cities of Cairo and Asyut, following a collision between a passenger bus and a heavy truck.
In addition to those who died, dozens of other passengers were injured in the impact. Emergency response teams were immediately dispatched to the scene of the accident and transported the injured to the nearest hospitals to receive medical assistance.
Road accidents in Egypt are relatively frequent due to the failure to observe traffic rules and the poor condition of some road sections. Authorities in the country have launched an investigation to determine the exact causes of the collision and whether there were any violations of safety regulations.
At this time, there is no information indicating that any Bulgarian citizens are among the victims. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is monitoring the situation and maintaining contact with local authorities to confirm the identities of the deceased and the injured.
This incident is yet another case that serves as a reminder of the need for stricter road control. Local authorities have promised to strengthen security measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
