Seven people, including at least four Russian tourists, were killed on Saturday in a bus and car accident on a road near the southern Sinai town of Dahab, Egyptian police said. 

 

A bus carrying the tourists slammed into a car near Dahab, an estimated 100 kilometers from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, they said, cited by AFP. 

 

According to initial inquiries, speeding was the cause behind the accident. The bodies of four Russians and the Egyptian bus driver, Taher Abu Zeid, aged 35, have thus far been identified, they said, while the other two have not. (Albawaba.com)
