Ten people were killed and four others injured in a crash between a truck, a minibus and two cars along the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road Tuesday.
A statement issued by the Alexandria Security Directorate said initial investigations showed the truck had collided with the microbus, causing both vehicles to flip.
Two cars then crashed into the overturned vehicles, the statement added.
Traffic resumed on the busy highway north of Cairo after workers cleared the wreckage and transferred the bodies to a morgue.
The Public Prosecution has ordered further investigation into the incident.
