At least 35 people were killed and more than 50 others injured Saturday in a horrific collision on an Egyptian highway involving a bus and several cars. An over turned lorry lying across the fast lane on burning tarmac. Further, at least one bus and a minibus, both largely on fire, as well as many cars, some still in flames.
Traffic accidents are common in Egypt where roads are often in bad repair and the highway code is frequently disregarded. According to official, 7,000 people were killed in road accidents in 2021 in the Arab world's most populous country.
