A total of 41 passengers were injured after a bus flipped over along the Eastern Desert Road in Upper Egypt’s Minya Sundya, Youm7 reported.
Thirty one of the injured passengers were taken to Minya University hospital, while ten were admitted to Minya Public hospital.
All of the injured people are originally from Qena, Luxor, and Aswan. The bus was en route from Cairo to Upper Egypt governorates.
Initial investigations were launched to reveal the reasons of the accidents.
Two days ago, at least seven were killed in two separate road accidents, one of which took place when a petrol-loaded truck flipped over killing the driver.
Thousands of Egyptians die on the road every day due to traffic crashes. Egypt recorded 14,548 traffic accidents in 2015, a one percent increase compared to 2014, according to a statement by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS.)
The country is among the 10 states enrolled in a UN program that aims to half the rate of road deaths by 2020. Since 2014, Egypt launched a number of projects and campaigns to monitor road safety, including building new roads, maintaining dilapidated bridges and carrying out random drug tests on drivers.
