2 road accidents in Egypt leave 26 dead

Two accidents on Egypt’s roads have killed at least 26 people in three days, authorities said.
A collision on Saturday involving a minibus on a desert road 145km south of Cairo left 13 dead, the health ministry said.
That came just days after a crash on the same road also claimed 13 lives.
Accidents on Egypt’s roads killed more than 5 000 people in 2016, according to official figures, and authorities have moved to strengthen enforcement of traffic laws.
