One policeman was killed and fifteen other people wounded early Wednesday in a highway accident south of Giza governorate, Ahram Arabic news website reported.

The accident occurred when an armoured police vehicle collided with a truck on a highway in the town of Al-Saff, some 60km south of Giza.

It was not immediately clear if those injured are security personnel or civilians.

Thousands die and tens of thousands are injured every year in near-daily road crashes in Egypt--notorious for its poor road safety record and loosely enforced traffic regulations.

‪In its latest report in April, the country's census authority said that over 14,400 road accidents occurred in Egypt in 2014, killing more than 6,200 people and injuring some over 25,000 others.
