(Adds details, nationalities of injured) CAIRO, Sept 15 (Reuters) - At least 12 Egyptians and foreign tourists were killed on Monday in a head-on road crash between a tourist bus and a truck in the Sinai peninsula, security sources said. Seven of the dead were believed to be foreigners, including people from Russia, Ukraine and the Netherlands, the sources said. Egypt's state news agency MENA put the number of foreigners killed at four, and said that five Egyptians had also died including the bus driver. It added that the remains of three more people had been found, but their identity was not clear. The crash, on the Red Sea coast of the southern Sinai peninsula, also injured 34 people including Egyptians, Britons, Germans, French, Russians, Ukrainians and Poles, the security sources said. They added that the injured had been taken to hospital in Suez and Ras Sidr, but that nine critical cases had been moved to a Cairo hospital for treatment. Reckless driving, lax traffic rules and poor road conditions lead to a high road death toll in Egypt. A new traffic code with tougher punishments for lawbreakers came into effect at the start of August. (Reporting by Yusri Mohamed; Writing by Alastair Sharp, editing by Mark Trevelyan)
