Students from the Suez-based Galala University were on board.
Local media reported they were returning from their classes to
their dormitory in Ain Sokhna resort, using the new Galala
highway, when the accident happened, and that the driver was
arrested as part of an investigation into the crash.
The ministry didn’t reveal what caused the accident.
The statement Monday night said 28 ambulances rushed to the site
and transported the injured to the Suez Medical Complex, but
didn't disclose their condition.
Minister of Health, Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar, and Minister of High
Education, Ayman Ashour, expressed their condolences to the
families of the students.
Deadly traffic accidents claim thousands of lives every year in
Egypt, which has a poor transportation safety record. Speeding,
bad roads, and poor enforcement of traffic laws mostly cause the
collisions.
