ISMAILIA (AA) - At least 15 people were killed and many others were wounded when a passenger bus collided with a truck in the northeastern Egyptian city of al-Qantarah.
The crash took place on a road linking al-Qantarah with Salihiyya near Ismailia, according to security sources.
Many people were wounded in the accident.

Reckless driving, lax traffic regulations and dangerous road conditions are major reasons for many traffic accidents in Egypt.
