CAIRO: At least 32 people have died and 165 sustained injuries in a train crash in central Egypt, BBC reported.
Carriages derailed and overturned after two passenger trains collided near the city of Tahta, Sohag province.
One of the trains was travelling between the southern city of Luxor and the Mediterranean port of Alexandria, while the other was travelling between the capital Cairo and the city of Aswan in southern Egypt.
Emergency brakes were activated on the train in front by “unknown individuals”, causing the train behind to crash into it, the country’s railway authority said.
