Investigators traveled to the crash site to look into what may have caused the accident. Some media outlets have said that one of the drivers fell asleep behind the wheel, however, Egyptian officials have not yet confirmed that.
The Daily News Egypt noted that the injured tourists include Ukrainian, Saudi and Yemeni citizens.
