RIA Novosti: Russians who suffered in Egypt bought a tour from a street agency
Russian tourists injured in a traffic accident in Egypt bought an excursion from a street agency. This is reported by RIA Novosti citing a source in the tourism industry.
According to the source, often the insurance companies of tour operators, through which tourists could arrive on vacation, cannot help in any way. In this case, the costs of treatment should be covered by the sellers of the street agency.

The driver was detained for questioning. According to preliminary information, he may have been speeding or lost control due to a burst tire.
