CAIRO (AP) — Authorities say a tourist bus has collided with a truck on a highway in southern Egypt and burst into flames, killing at least 10 people, including four from France and a Belgian. Five Egyptians were also killed. The crash happened on a highway about 43 kilometers — or 27 miles — south of the city of Aswan. That’s according to a statement from the provincial authorities.

The statement says at least 14 others were injured, including eight from France and six from Belgium.
