Nine killed in Egypt traffic crash
Nine people lost their lives and eight others were injured in a collision between a medium-sized passenger bus (minibus) and a smaller vehicle (microbus) on a new regional road in the Deik area of Ras El Hekma, Matrouh Governorate, Egypt. The ages of the deceased range from 25 to 50 years old, while the injured are between 20 and 38 years old. They hail from various governorates including Daqahliya, Kafr El Sheikh, Alexandria, and Cairo. The injuries vary, including internal bleeding and multiple fractures. The bodies have been transported to Matrouh General Hospital for the completion of legal and medical procedures, and the relevant authorities are continuing efforts to clear the aftermath of the accident. Data indicates that the number of road accident fatalities reached 5,829 in 2025, representing an increase of 10.8% compared to the previous year. The rise is attributed to poor road conditions, vehicle deterioration, and non-compliance with traffic rules, despite efforts by authorities to improve the road and railway networks.
