A bus accident in southern Egypt on Tuesday killed 14 tourists from Hong Kong on board.  30 others were also injured when the tour bus reportedly overturned on the Safaga-Hurghada road.

 

Several of the passengers were seriously injured. 

 

The bus was heading south near the Red Sea coast towards the city of Luxor at the time, according to Reuters.

 

A similar crash last year in Egypt resulted in the death of six Australians.
