58 seconds shaking hearts ... the first images of the terrible accident in Badrashin
At seven in the morning this Sunday, traffic flows into car traffic passing over the Abu Sir bridge in downtown Badrashin, south of Giza.
A few minutes would have changed the mood. A terrible accident is like a dark nightmare that covered the place, that was covered with the blood of the victims, between the dead and the wounded.
A few steps from the bridge, the driver of the silver Suzuki pickup slowed down before crossing the road on the road to take a group of children to the Azhari Institute in Badrasheen.
On the opposite side, a heavy pickup truck drives to haul garbage on its way to the street where Suzuki is.
Everything is going well. The two drivers set off all the way before the clock stopped in a heartbreaking moment. A white minibus traveling at high speed collides with a Suzuki that is trapped between a whetstone.
The little car became a piece of blood from its occupants. The front of the minibus was destroyed and the transport was not affected.
Passersby and merchants flocked from everywhere, each offering a helping hand. Residents tried to rescue the Suzuki passengers, most of whom were children, while the minibus evacuated the passengers.
The siren of the successive ambulances caught everyone's attention. Bloodshed and car wrecks were the last left.
The accident resulted in the deaths of: Muhammad Omar Fathy, 9, Amal Saber, 45, in addition to the Suzuki driver.
Another 14 were injured, including serious cases: Shurooq Sharif Abd al-Fattah, 9, Mahmoud Othman Sadiq, 38, Naji Abbas Muhammad, 72, Abd al-Rahman Ahmad Abd al-Rahman, 43, Aziza Abd al-Karim, 20, Rami Mahmoud Muhammad, 35, and an unidentified boy, 9.
The list of wounded included: Hamza Sayed Sabri, 10, and his brother Bilal, 6, Abdullah Adel Sabri, 8, Samir al-Sayyid Abu Saree, 44, Muhammad Zaghloul, 32, Medhat Faris Muhammad, 43, and Majid Abdullah Azab, 60 years old.
Police forces under the leadership of Major Mohamed Tablieh, head of the al-Badrasheen Investigation Department, held the minibus and transport drivers to listen to their statements after clearing the surveillance cameras to indicate their responsibility in the accident.
