Road Accident in Libya Claims 12 Egyptian Lives

Road Accident in Libya Claims 12 Egyptian Lives
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Twelve Egyptian nationals were killed early Wednesday morning in a devastating road accident on the desert highway connecting Ajdabiya and Tobruk, local sources have confirmed. The collision involved a large truck and a passenger minivan, and occurred in a remote section of the notoriously dangerous route.

Eyewitnesses described the crash site as isolated and poorly lit, adding that the stretch of road where the incident occurred is widely known for its treacherous conditions, lack of basic services, and absence of lighting. These factors make it particularly hazardous during night-time and early morning hours.

Emergency services, including ambulance and civil defence units, arrived at the scene hours after the crash. The victims’ bodies were transported to nearby hospitals for identification and further procedures.

The accident is being described as one of the deadliest in recent months on Libyan roads, which continue to suffer from poor maintenance, limited safety measures, and minimal infrastructure. Local residents and community leaders have repeatedly called on authorities to upgrade this vital transport route and implement life-saving improvements, such as lighting, signage, and emergency response systems.

Road safety remains a critical issue in Libya, particularly on long-distance desert highways connecting major cities. These routes are frequently used by migrant workers, traders, and transport companies, often under risky conditions.

Wednesday’s crash has reignited public debate over the need for urgent infrastructure reform and more effective traffic regulation. Human rights advocates have also raised concerns about the vulnerability of foreign workers who frequently use such dangerous roads.

Authorities have yet to release an official statement, but investigations into the cause of the collision are ongoing.
