Students from the Suez-based Galala University were on board, returning home using the Ain Sokhna highway, when the accident happened. The ministry didn’t reveal what caused the crash. The statement said 28 ambulances rushed to the site and transported the injured to the Suez Medical Complex, but didn’t disclose their condition. 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.
