At least 12 tourists have been killed in a coach crash on the west coast of Egypt's Sinai peninsula.

Local officials claim that at least 37 other passengers were injured when the coach crashed into a delivery truck.

The accident occurred outside the resort of Ras Sidr, with seven of the dead confirmed as foreign tourists from Russia, Ukraine and the Netherlands.

A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said that it believed a "number of British nationals were onboard" the coach.

"Our consular staff are en-route to the area," she added.

Egypt has a notoriously bad reputation when it comes to road safety and nine people were killed in a coach crash in the same area in May.
