Hong Kong - Shocked relatives of Hong Kong tourists killed or injured in a bus crash in Egypt Tuesday were gathering at the travel agency which sent them on the 10-day holiday last Friday.

Immigration officials and medics from the former British colony were also being sent out to Egypt to help bring the survivors of the accident, some of whom are critically injured, back home.

Fourteen Hong Kong people were killed and around 30 others injured when a tour bus carrying them from the Red Sea resort of Hurghada to Luxor spun off the road at high speed.

The tourists were on a 10-day tour to Egypt organized by the Jet Tour company based in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui district where relatives of the victims gathered Tuesday afternoon.

The relatives were seeking information from the tour company on whether their loved ones were among the dead or among the survivors in the accident.

A spokesman for Jet Tour told radio station RTHK that it was not yet clear how many tourists had been killed or injured. A team of travel insurance representatives were flying to Hurghada, he added.

He said officials would offer all possible assistance and that the government had contacted the Chinese embassy in Egypt to seek its assistance.
