Egypt Bus Crash

By Alex Nunez

On Sunday, November 6, a bus overturned in Hurghadad, Egypt. Eleven Hungarian tourists were killed in the crash and 27 other Hungarians were injured, including 4 children. The bus was headed from a hotel to the airport when it crashed. Possible causes for the driver to lose control is the poor road conditions and the lack of road law enforcement in Egypt. Sadly, bus crashes are quite common in Egypt. There are 6,000 million deaths annually caused by road accidents in Egypt. Last year there was a crash that killed eight U.S. citizens in another Egyptian city, Aswan.
