At around 9:30 a.m. on the 25th (local time), a tourist bus carrying 20 Korean tourists traveling from Hurghada to Cairo in Egypt crashed into a guardrail. These tourists were on a 9-day package tour of Egypt.

Some passengers complained of pain and were transported to the hospital due to the accident.

Mr. Lee Hun-woo, who was on the bus, said, "The bus hit the guardrail and skidded, but fortunately stopped without crossing into the opposite lane," adding, "Drowsy driving is suspected."

The travel agency is reportedly planning to deploy a replacement bus to ensure that the tourists can continue their journey to Cairo as scheduled.
