Eighteen people were killed and three injured on Sunday in a major traffic pile-up in Egypt's Mediterranean city of Alexandria. The accident, which involved five vehicles, took place on the international road to the west of the city, Amr Nasr, head of Alexandria's ambulance service, told Anadolu Agency.
According to Nasr, most of the fatalities died on the spot.
Ibrahim al-Roubi, head of the emergency department, said the three passengers who survived the accident had all sustained serious injuries.
Deadly traffic accidents are common in Egypt due to poor road maintenance and lax supervision and law enforcement by local transportation bodies.
