CAIRO (Reuters) - Nineteen people died and 30 were injured in an explosion resulting from a car crash in central Cairo, Egypt’s health ministry said early on Monday.
There was no official statement indicating that the explosion was an attack.
The blast happened when a car driving against traffic on Cairo’s Nile corniche road collided with three other cars, the interior ministry said in a separate statement.
It triggered a blaze that forced the partial evacuation of the nearby National Cancer Institute, the health ministry said.
Egypt’s public prosecutor is investigating the incident, sources told Reuters.
