AMMAN: A bus taking Egyptian squash players to a tourist resort overturned on Friday, killing the driver and injuring four players and an official, security officials said.
The players — the women’s team and two men players — were traveling to the city of Madaba on their day off between matches in Arab Games in Amman, said the officials.
The most seriously injured is Nasreen Nasha who underwent surgery in a hospital near Madaba to fix a broken thigh bone, Egyptian diplomats said.
