22 killed in Egyptian road crashes An Egyptian police officer reported on Tuesday that 22 Egyptians were killed on Tuesday in two separate accidents on the notoriously dangerous road between the Egyptian capital, Cairo and the southern city of Minya
All 15 people in one microbus were killed when their driver fell asleep at the wheel, crashing into a parked lorry on the roadside near the town of Beni Mazar.

Egypt's official sources said just hours later, a microbus and truck crashed head-on further north on the same road killing seven people and leaving 20 injured.

Egyptian roads are among the most chaotic and dangerous in the world, with traffic laws flouted widely and roads not properly maintained.

The official added that in 2008, more than 8,000 people died from traffic-related accidents.
