Egypt Train Crash Kills Over 30, Injures More Than 60 - FARS

 (FNA)- At least 32 people have been killed and 60 others injured after two trains collided North of the Egyptian city of Sohag on Friday, according to the health ministry.
Health authorities had dispatched 36 ambulances to the scene and casualties were being taken to local hospitals, the health ministry announced in a statement, Al-Jazeera reported.

Pictures on local media showed train carriages derailed above a channel of water.

“The trains collided while going at not very high speeds, which led to the destruction of two carriages and a third to overturn,” a security source told Reuters news agency.

Egypt has one of the oldest and largest rail networks in North Africa and accidents causing casualties are common.
