Egypt TV star Yosri Fouda injured in car accident

Renowned Egyptian TV anchor Yosri Fouda was transported to a hospital in Cairo late on Sunday after being injured in a car accident in the Red Sea resort town of Hurghada. \"A tyre on Fouda\'s car blew out and the car flipped over,\" journalist Yasser El-Zayat said. “The accident was severe but he is aware and speaking,” El-Zayat said via Twitter. Fouda has a fractured neck but it is treatable, El-Zayat added. After receiving initial medical treatment at Al-Gouna hospital in Hurghada, Fouda was transferred by helicopter to Cairo’s Dar El-Fouad hospital.
