On Tuesday, a road accident in Egypt’s Ismailia governorate left 24 individuals injured, including mostly daily-wage workers, according to preliminary reports from local media. This incident took place on Al Dawawis road in Qassasin, just two weeks after 19 workers were killed in a similar collision on the same road.
The latest accident occurred when a pickup truck carrying workers collided with a passenger car. Preliminary reports indicate that 22 workers and two people in the car sustained various injuries, ranging from bruises to fractures. Egypt’s ambulance authority responded swiftly, dispatching 10 ambulances to the scene.
Hospital treatment was provided to 17 individuals, with the remaining seven receiving immediate care at the scene and choosing not to be transferred to a hospital. A witness claimed that the pickup truck driver fled the scene after the collision, while the passenger car driver was taken to the hospital in a critical condition.
The circumstances surrounding the crash are currently under investigation by authorities. Just two weeks prior, on August 11, a tragic collision on the same Al Dawawis road near Al Shabab power station resulted in the death of 19 workers and 28 others sustaining injuries.
