Eight people were left dead while nine were injured, after a microbus crashed into a pickup truck on Friday in the Beheira governorate of Egypt.
Ayman Saeed Ismael, the 38 year old driver of the Microbus, was driving towards the city of Kafr El Dawar when suddenly he caught site of a pickup truck cutting across the divide and heading towards him. When he tried to dodge the truck, he lost control of his car, which subsequently flipped. The driver of the truck fled the scene.
