A bus carrying university students crashed in Egypt on Monday, killing 12 and injuring dozens, according to the country’s health ministry.
The bus, which was en route from the Faculty of Medicine of Galala University in Egypt’s eastern Suez governorate to Cairo, overturned on Al-Galala Road on Monday resulting in 12 fatalities with 33 people injured.
According to local media outlets, including the state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper, the students were returning from their classes to their dormitory in Ain Sokhna resort when the accident happened on the new Galala highway.
While the ministry has not yet revealed what caused the accident, the privately-owned pro-state Sada al-Balad news channel said on its website that initial investigations had concluded the bus driver was speeding and lost control over the vehicle.
