At least 15 Egyptian secondary school students have been killed in a head-on collision on their way to school.
The accident happened when the truck they were travelling in collided head-on with another vehicle. The driver of the truck also died.
The dead students, 14 girls and a boy, were aged between 15 and 16.
Another eight students were injured in the accident on the desert highway between Cairo and the southern city of Assiut.
A truck carrying sand swerved into the oncoming lane to pass another car and then struck the pickup truck carrying the students.
It is the latest in a series of deadly Egyptian transport accidents.
