Seven people were killed on Friday after a minibus and a private
car collided on the Ismailia-Suez desert road in northeastern
Egypt, Trend reports citing Xinhua .
The collision resulted in the explosion of an oxygen cylinder
inside the private car and a gas cylinder in the minibus.
The bodies of the seven people were burned as they were trapped
in the vehicles. The bodies were taken to local hospitals in
ambulances, while a team of prosecutors had inspected the scene of
the accident.
According to initial reports, the accident took place when the
private car's driver tried to turn to the other side of the
road.
Road accidents are common in Egypt because of poorly maintained
road infrastructure and loosely applied traffic regulations.
Over the past few years, Egypt has been upgrading its road
network, building new roads and bridges, and repairing old ones to
reduce traffic accidents.
