Two other injured staff members were receiving medical treatment at a local hospital, it said.

Egyptian Al-Qahera News said five Qataris and an Egyptian driver were in the vehicle when it crashed after the driver lost control of the steering wheel.

Sharm el-Sheikh is scheduled to host a summit to end the war in Gaza, co-chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, with the participation of more than 20 leaders.
