21 killed, 16 injured in Egypt pile-up
At least 21 people have lost their lives and 16 others have been injured in a major pile-up in the south of the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
According to a statement released by the Egyptian Health Ministry, the traffic accident occurred on Sunday near Beni Suef, about 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of the capital, Cairo, keeping the road closed for three hours.
The statement said fog and high speed had led to the massive car crash.
Egypt's roads are among the most dangerous in the world. Official figures show that around 10,000 people are annually killed in car accidents in the country, where roads are poorly maintained and traffic rules often ignored.
Meanwhile, in Giza's al-Ayyat, on the outskirts of Cairo, a separate report by the Arabic news agency, Ahram, on Sunday said at least seven people were killed and three others were severely injured when a train ran over a car that was crossing the railway.
