CAIRO: A minibus carrying fish-farm workers collided with a heavy truck in Egypt, killing 18 people, local media reported.
The minibus was transporting its passengers from Dakahlia governorate, near the northeastern city of Port Said, to their workplace when it collided on Thursday with the truck along the June 30 Axis, a main northern corridor.
Dakahlia governor Tarek Marzouk on Friday mourned the “martyrs”, according to a statement from his office published on Facebook.
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly offered his condolences to the families of the victims and ordered they be financially compensated.
