Train crash in Egypt kills 1 and injures more than 20 people
CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities say a locomotive crashed into the tail of the Cairo-bound passenger train in southern Egypt, killing at least one person and injuring at least 21 people. The collision occurred Sunday in the province of Minya, about 168 miles south of Cairo, the railway authority said in a statement, and two railway carriages have fallen into an adjacent watercourse. The cause of the crash is being investigated. Sunday’s crash is the second in a month in the North African Eastern country. Train derailments and crashes are common in Egypt, where an aging railway system has also been plagued by mismanagement.
