CAIRO (AP) – A truck slammed into a minibus in Egypt’s fertile Nile Delta region early on Tuesday, killing at least 10 people, authorities said. Officials blamed speeding for the crash; local media said women and children were among those killed. The collision in the province of Dakahlia, around 150 kilometers out of Cairo, on a highway linking Mansoura, a provincial capital, to the beach town of Gamasa on the Mediterranean Sea, also injured at least nine people. The dead were taken to morgue while the injured were transferred to hospitals, a government statement said. Deadly traffic accidents claim thousands of lives every year in Egypt, which has a poor transportation safety record.
