Deadly bus crash with truck kills 17, injures 29 in Egypt

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian media and local officials say a passenger bus has slammed into a slowly moving truck on a highway in southwestern Egypt, killing at least 17 people and injuring 29. The crash Wednesday in the New Valley province was Egypt’s latest deadly traffic accident, which kills thousands of lives every year. Egypt has a poor transportation safety record. Collisions are mostly caused by speeding, bad roads or poor enforcement of traffic laws.
