Egypt has offered its condolences to Türkiye following a traffic accident in the eastern province of Van that killed nine people and injured five others.
In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry on Monday, Egypt also extended its heartfelt sympathy to the victims’ families and loved ones, expressing its solidarity with them and wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
The accident occurred on the Özalp-Saray highway in the Özalp district, when a lorry collided with an Iranian-registered passenger minibus.
Local authorities said heavy rainfall had made the road slippery, contributing to the collision.
The highway was temporarily closed before being reopened after rescue operations and road clearance were completed.
