Social media video showed the scene of a deadly multiple-vehicle collision on Saturday (October 28) about 132 kilometres (82 miles) north of Egypt's capital Cairo, Reuters reports.
Emergency services could be seen at the site of the crash where thirty-two people were killed and 63 injured, the Egyptian health ministry said.
The collision took place in the morning 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.
