16 dead as Egypt school bus collides with tanker truck
A bus packed with teenagers on their way to school collided with an oil tanker truck in northern Egypt on Wednesday leaving 16 people dead, police and medics said.
The crash, near the Nile Delta city of Damanhur, 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Cairo, injured another 18 people, some of them seriously.
The bus was carrying secondary school pupils, but medics were not immediately able to say how many of the dead were children because the bodies were so badly burned after both vehicles burst into flames.
