A bus and a truck collided on a highway in Egypt's southern Aswan province killing 13 people and injuring seven, a health official said.
Ihab Hanafy, a Health Ministry undersecretary, said the bodies were transferred to the morgue of a local hospital and the injured were receiving treatment.
Vehicle accidents are common in Egypt, often the result of badly maintained roads and poor enforcement of traffic laws, the Associated Press reported.
Thursday's collision was the second road accident in Aswan in less than a week.
On Tuesday, a vehicle and a truck collided on the same highway, leaving three dead and 14 injured.
According to Egypt's official statistics agency, more than 8,000 road accidents took place in 2018, leaving over 3,000 dead and around 12,000 injured.
