CAIRO (AP) \u2014 At least 22 people, including Egyptians and Jordanians, were killed Wednesday in a passenger bus crash in Egypt\u2019s<\/a> Sinai Peninsula, authorities in both countries said. Twenty-eight others were injured.<\/p>\n

The accident happened on a road linking the tourist resorts of Dahab and Nuweiba in South Sinai province, the Egyptian Health Ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The ministry said it deployed 20 ambulances to the scene to transport the dead and wounded to nearby hospitals. It didn\u2019t elaborate on the victims\u2019 nationalities.<\/p>\n

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry said there were Jordanians among the casualties, without providing a toll.<\/p>\n

The Amman-based al-Mamlaka public broadcaster reported that 10 Jordanians were killed in the crash. It said the bus was bound for Amman from Cairo when it overturned on a road between Dahab and Nuweiba.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian health ministry didn\u2019t elaborate on the causes, but local media reported that the bus overturned after one of its tires blew out.<\/p>\n

Deadly traffic accidents claim thousands of lives every year in Egypt<\/a>, which has a poor transportation safety record. Speeding, bad roads and poor enforcement of traffic laws are the main reasons behind most of the crashes.<\/p>\n

In January, 21 people were killed and 16 injured in a massive multicar pileup on a road near the southern province of Beni Suef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
