Five teens ranging from 15 years old to 17 years old are allegedly involved in the crime spree. 5 teens charged in carjacking According to the criminal complaint, the five boys led police on a chase that ended on the West End Bridge after their vehicle hit a jersey barrier on Friday morning. Three of the boys are then accused of running, and guns were allegedly ditched. All five were later taken into custody, officials said. Police, according to the criminal complaint, recovered multiple guns. Some were found near Rivers Casino after appearing to be thrown from the bridge, authorities said. One gun recovered was an "AR style pistol," according to court documents. The chase started after police say a woman reported being robbed at gunpoint.

Teen labourers among 19 killed in road collision in Egypt
A truck has collided with a minibus carrying workers on a road in Egypt, killing 19 people, most of them teenage girls, according to local officials. The collision occurred as the workers were heading to work in the early hours of Friday morning on a regional road in the city of Ashmoun in the Nile Delta province of Menoufia, north of the capital Cairo. The truck collided with the minibus as it carried the labourers to their workplace from their home village of Kafr al-Sanabsa, according to the state-owned newspaper, Akhbar al-Youm. Most of the workers were teenagers – two of them just 14 – according to a list of the names and ages published by the state-owned daily, Al-Ahram. Egyptian media has dubbed the crash victims 'martyrs for their daily bread'. Some 1.3 million minors are engaged in some form of child labour in Egypt, according to government figures, and accidents often involve underage labourers travelling to work in overcrowded minibuses in rural areas. Only three people survived the crash on Friday, according to a statement from Egypt's Ministry of Labour, and they were transferred to the General Ashmoun Hospital. Egypt's Labour Minister Mohamed Gebran has ordered authorities to compensate the families of the deceased with up to 200,000 Egyptian pounds (about $4,000) each. Each injured person will also receive 20,000 Egyptian pounds ($400). Menoufia provincial governor, Ibrahim Abu Leimon, said the cause of the crash would be investigated. Preliminary reports suggest excessive speeding may have been a key factor. Abu Leimon also called on the country's Ministry of Transportation to reassess safety measures on the regional road. In April, five members of a single family died in a two-car collision on the same road. Deadly traffic accidents claim thousands of lives every year across Egypt. In October 2023, 35 people were killed, at least 18 of whom burned to death, in a 'horrific collision' involving a bus and several cars on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road, according to Al-Ahram.

Child labourers among 19 dead in Egypt road accident: state media
CAIRO: A road accident in northern Egypt killed 19 people on Friday, most of them teenage girls working as day laborers, state media reported. A truck collided with the minibus carrying the laborers to their place of work from their home village of Kafr Al-Sanabsa in the Nile Delta, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Cairo, state-owned newspaper Akhbar Al-Youm reported. According to a list of the names and ages of the dead published by another state-owned daily, Al-Ahram, most of the workers were teenagers — two of them just 14. Egyptian media dubbed the girls 'martyrs for their daily bread.' Road accidents are common in Egypt, where traffic rules are unevenly enforced and many roads are in poor repair. Accidents often involve underage laborers traveling to work in overcrowded minibuses in rural areas. At least 1.3 million minors are engaged in some form of child labor in Egypt, according to official figures.
