A bus accident has left two people dead and dozens more injured.
The crash reportedly involved a coach that was transporting a huge number of passengers when it veered off course on a mountainous or remote road, near a beach resort in Egypt.
As a result of the impact that took place, two passengers were said to have passed away and dozens more were seriously hurt. Most of them were swiftly transferred to nearby local hospitals.
The impact was said to be severe, and it was mostly linked to the treacherous nature of the road, challenging terrain, and a high number of casualties taking place.
Local emergency teams, including rescue workers and ambulances, are reported to have responded quickly, working under difficult conditions, steep slopes, and bad weather.
It was possibly due to poor vehicle condition, as well as investigators are currently outlining the possible factors that might have led to this crash. Witnesses described scenes of devastation and large-scale evacuations as survivors were pulled from the wrecked coach and carried to waiting medical units. Officials say that many of the injured remain in critical condition, and the death toll of this incident might rise as rescue and recovery are underway.
The crash has sparked major concerns about road safety standards in the region, especially when it comes to bus maintenance, brake systems, and driver training.
