A 13-year-old boy was killed in a road collision in Egypt's Nile Delta on Wednesday while almost a dozen others were injured in a separate accident south of Cairo, Ahram Arabic and Egypt's official news agency reported.
The young student was killed and his brother seriously wounded when a motorbike they were riding collided with a truck in the early hours of Wednesday in the town of Balkas in Daqahliya governorate, some 120 km northeast of Cairo, Ahram Arabic news website reported.
In a second accident on Wednesday, 11 people were wounded when a minibus carrying them overturned on a highway in Upper Egypt's Mina governorate after one of its tires exploded, state news agency MENA reported.
Egypt is notorious for its poor road safety and loosely enforced traffic regulations, which result in near daily accidents that claim thousands of lives every year.
