Tourist bus collides with truck in Egypt and bursts into flames, killing 10 people

A tourist bus collided with a truck on a highway in southern Egypt and burst into flames on Wednesday, killing at least 10 people including four French and a Belgian, authorities said. The crash happened some 34 miles south of the ancient city of Luxor, as it was travelling to the temples of Esna on the west bank of the Nile River, provincial authorities said in a statement.

Along with the tourists, five Egyptians were killed in the crash. At least 14 others were injured, including eight from France and six from Belgium, they said.

They had "broken bones, bruises and superficial injuries" but all were in a stable condition, the governor of the southern province of Aswan said, AFP reported.
