  "account": "A minibus collided with a heavy truck on a highway near Cairo on Saturday, resulting in 10 deaths and 24 injuries, according to Egypt's health ministry. The incident took place west of the capital, close to the 6th of October City in Giza province.\n\nHealth ministry officials stated that 10 of the injured were in critical condition, but emphasized that the casualty figures were preliminary and that they were still assessing the situation.\n\nThis crash is the latest in a series of fatal road accidents in Egypt, where traffic incidents remain a significant public safety concern. Such accidents are often attributed to reckless driving, poor vehicle maintenance, and inconsistent enforcement of traffic laws.\n\nEarlier this month, a large truck struck a tourist bus near Cairo, killing 13 people and injuring 34. In another recent incident, a bus crash in the Sinai Peninsula claimed 22 lives, including 10 Jordanian tourists.\n\nIn August, at least 18 people, many of them children, lost their lives when two pickup trucks transporting agricultural day laborers collided in northern Egypt.",
