CAIRO — At least 32 people were killed and 63 others injured on Saturday morning in Egypt after a passenger bus and several vehicles collided about 82 miles north of the capital, Cairo, the health ministry said. The collisions occurred on the main desert road in the Beheira governorate linking Cairo and the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. The police said an oil leak from one vehicle caused the collision, with some vehicles catching fire, according to the state-run Al-Ahram newspaper. Ambulances rushed to the scene to take the injured to hospital. On Wednesday, at least 17 people were killed when a truck and a microbus collided on the Ring Road in Greater Cairo, Al-Ahram said.
