The accident happened after midnight on a deserted highway about 50 kilometers away from the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh. As a result of a powerful collision one of the buses turned over. Rescuers are still working on getting the bodies out of the buses and local authorities are warning that the death toll could climb.

There were several foreign nationals aboard the two buses, including one Russian citizen, two Saudi Arabia’s nationals and one Yemeni.
