Nine people have been killed and 28 injured after a tourist bus crashed and caught fire in Egypt's Sinai peninsula.
The bus was apparently rounding a sharp bend when it overturned about 40 miles (70 km) south of the city of Suez.
The bus was carrying 40 people from the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to the capital, Cairo, when the crash happened.
The cause of the accident is unknown, though reports suggest the bus overturned as it rounded a corner, hit a concrete barrier and burst into flames.
One report suggests a tyre blew.
Russians, Egyptians, Britons, Canadians, Italians, Romanians and Ukrainians are said to be among the casualties - many of them badly burned.
UK Foreign Office have said no brits have died.
bad and sad news ,but its a road traffic accident and these things unfortunately happen .my thoughts and wishes go out to all those injured or killed
