Cairo - Egypt's state news agency says 10 people have been killed in a traffic accident on the Nile delta.
The report says a truck driver lost control and ploughed into a minibus on Sunday in the opposite lane of a highway near the town of Benha, 200km north of Cairo.
It says the truck driver is among the dead, and at least 11 other people were wounded.
Road accidents are common in Egypt due to poor enforcement of traffic laws and bad roads. Police estimate traffic incidents kill about 6 000 people annually.
