At least 35 people were killed and 60 injured in a horror car crash in Egypt.
The shocking video showed aggressive flames erupting from a massive pile-up on a motorway in the Cairo-Alexandria desert.
The 29-second clip captured the mass devastation as families tried to scramble to safety.
It is thought that an oil leak sparked a fire which then spread to other cars nearby, but this has not yet been confirmed by local police.
A bus and several cars collided in the Wadi-El-Natrun area before the international highway, heading towards Cairo.

Clouds of black smoke seeped into the sky as the burnt orange blaze could be seen for miles.
In a desperate act to contain the roaring fire, locals tried to push broken-down cars to safety.
Locals can be heard screaming and shouting as they tried to find their loved ones and warn others to steer clear.
Lorries and vans beeped their horns as oncoming traffic, unaware of the mass devastation and serious danger ahead, approached the tragic accident.
Not much can be seen close to the fire as a blanket of smoke smothered the road while people tried to flee.
Pictures posted on social media showed a lorry overturned and a bus guttered by the fire as long queues formed down the roads.
It is thought that the tragic accident was caused by an oil leak from a car in the Beheira region, according to local media.
‘A horrific collision on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road near Wadi al-Natroun led to the death of 35 people, at least 18 of whom were burned, and the injury of 53 others,’ according to Al Ahram.

Of the injured, 53 are being treated at the Wadi El-Natrun Day Surgery Hospital while seven are being treated at the West El Nobaria Central Hospital, according to local new sites.
Every year, around 12,000 people are killed in road traffic accidents, according to the World Health Organisation.
Thousands are non-fatally injured, with some resulting in long-term disability.
