At least nine people were killed and six others injured on Wednesday when a microbus collided with two trucks on a main road in Giza governorate near Egypt's capital Cairo, state-run MENA news agency reported.
The security forces rushed to the scene, and the injured, as well as the bodies of the dead were taken to nearby hospitals.
Over the past two days, similar accidents have left at least 15 people dead and scores injured nationwide in Egypt.
Traffic accidents are common in Egypt, killing at least 10,000 people each year, according to recent official statements.
Lack of highway monitoring systems, poor road maintenance and negligence of traffic rules are behind the high rate of road accidents in Egypt.
