At least 18 persons were killed and 12 wounded on Thursday in a car crash on a ring road in Egypt's capital Cairo, state-run Ahram reported.
The accident took place in the early hours of the day when a truck smashed into multiple vehicles lining up at a checkpoint to receive their curfew exemptions.
The truck loaded with construction raw materials ploughed into the line at a high speed, according to Ahram.
On Wednesday, a curfew was imposed across Egypt to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Under the curfew, public transport stops services from 7 p.m. (1700 GMT) until 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) and people are forbidden from streets without an exemption.
