A total of nine people were killed and 28 injured after a tourist bus crashed and caught fire in Egypt, BBC reported Thursday.
The bus, carrying 40 passengers, was apparently rounding a sharp bend when it overturned as it rounded a corner, hit a concrete barrier and burst into flames about 70 km south of the city of Suez.
Russians, Egyptians, Britons, Canadians, Italians, Romanians and Ukrainians are reported to be among the casualties - many of them badly burned.
The UK Foreign Office confirmed four Britons were among the injured.
The bodies of the nine people killed were said to be badly burned, as are many of the injured, who have been taken to nearby hospitals.
The investigation on the case is now under way.
