At least 21 killed in massive Egypt car crash
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least 21 people are killed and 16 injured in a massive multi-car pile-up on a road south of Egypt’s capital.
The Health Ministry says in a statement that fog and excessive speed led to the massive crash Sunday near Beni Suef, about 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Cairo, keeping the road closed for three hours.
Deadly traffic crashes claim over 10,000 lives annually in Egypt, where roads are poorly maintained and traffic rules often ignored. Most accidents are caused by speeding, bad roads or a lack of regular vehicle maintenance.
