Tour bus accident in Southern Egypt

A tourist bus arranged by Japanese travel agency JTB Corp.’s group company overturned Friday in southern Egypt, injuring 11 Japanese passengers, including a tour guide, and critically wounding an Egyptian guide.

Of those injured, a 59-year-old man and a 31-year-old man from Tokyo suffered broken arms, and the Egyptian guide was left unconscious.

The other Japanese passengers and the bus driver were slightly injured.

The bus was on its way from Aswan to Abu Simbel, and is believed to have overturned after coming into contact with a van that strayed from the opposite lane.
