ASSIUT, Egypt (AP) -- Security officials say a car crash in southern Egypt has killed at least 11 people.
The
collision happened early Friday morning on a road in the New Valley
Governorate in the southwestern part of the country. Security officials
say two cars collided on the road and burst into flames, killing 11
people and wounding three others.
The
officials gave no other details about the crash. They spoke on condition
of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Traffic
crashes are common in Egypt due to badly maintained roads and poor
enforcement of traffic laws. According to a 2012 World Health
Organization report, road accidents kill about 12,000 people each year
in the country, home to a population of about 90 million.
