Deadly road crashes take place on a near daily basis in Egypt, which is notorious for poor road safety, badly maintained infrastructure, and loosely enforced traffic regulations.
The country’s official statistics agency said in December that over 2800 people were killed in road and train crashes in Egypt in the first half of 2015.
