The governor of Daqahliya has said that the families of those killed in a 3-vehicle crash in the Nile Delta governorate on Monday will receive EGP 5,000 (approx. $536) each in compensation, Al-Ahram Arabic website reported.
Governor Hossam El-Din Emam added that those injured in the same crash would receive EGP 2,000 (approx. $254) each.
Twenty-two people were killed and 11 others were injured early Monday when two minibuses and a microbus collided with each other on a highway in the governorate.
Deadly road crashes take place on a daily basis in Egypt, largely due to poor road safety, badly maintained infrastructure, and loosely enforced traffic regulations.
In 2015, a total 14,548 road accidents were recorded by Egypt's official statistics agency.
