Nine people lost their lives and 11 others were injured on Saturday in northern Egypt when two minibuses collided on a busy highway in the Nile Delta, the health ministry confirmed.
The fatal crash occurred in Menoufia, around 80 kilometres north of Cairo, and marked the second deadly accident on the same highway within a week.
On 27 June, 19 people were killed—most of them teenage girls working as day labourers—when a truck crashed into their minibus.
Egypt’s roads claim thousands of lives every year, with accidents frequently attributed to reckless driving, poor road maintenance, and weak enforcement of traffic laws.
