SWAT: At least 11 people lost their lives, and seven others were injured in a collision between a passenger van and a bus on the Swat Expressway.

According to initial details, the accident occurred near Ismailia when a passenger van collided with a bus.

According to rescue authorities, the passenger bus was reportedly standing on the roadside when the van approaching from behind hit it at high speed.
