All victims were promptly transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The deceased include a 12-year old girl, a 35-year old man, and 53-year old woman.

The injured include a six-year-old girl who suffered a leg fracture and facial wounds, a three-year-old boy who is suspected to have brain bleeding, and a 35-year-old woman who is suspected to have fractures in her lower jaw and backbone, along with bruises across her body.

This is the second tragedy that befalls whole members of one family due to a car crash in less than a week.

On Sunday, five members of one family – three brothers and two cousins – died after succumbing to injuries sustained in a tragic car crash in the Qalioubiya governorate north of Cairo.
