Hundreds of thousands of travellers use Egypt's highways to return from the Eid Al-Fitr holiday, which officially ends on Monday, after visiting their families outside of Cairo in the Nile Delta or in Upper Egypt, during the Eid. Thousands die and tens of thousands are injured every year in car crashes across Egypt, a country notorious for its poor road safety record and loosely enforced traffic regulations. In its latest report in April, the country's census authority said that over 14,400 road accidents occurred in Egypt in 2014, killing more than 6,200 people and injuring 25,154 others. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/135815.aspx
