TEHRAN, Oct. 28 (MNA) – A shocking 32 people have been killed after a multi-car crash on a highway linking Cairo and the Mediterranean city of Alexandria in Egypt, according to authorities.

 Thirty-two people were killed and 63 injured on Saturday in a multiple-vehicle collision about 132 kilometers (82 miles) north of Egypt's capital Cairo, the health ministry said, Reuters reports.

The collision took place in the morning and involved a bus and a number of vehicles bound for Cairo on the main desert road in the Beheira governorate.

The state-run Al-Ahram newspaper quoted police sources as saying an oil leak from one vehicle caused the collision with some vehicles catching fire.
