Two trains collide in Egypt, killing 7 people and injuring more than 100, authorities say

At least seven people were killed and 112 people injured after two trains collided in Egypt on Sunday, the country’s health ministry said.

Several carriages were derailed after one train collided with the rear of another between Kafr Ammar and Al-Raqqa stations in Giza, near the capital Cairo, the Egyptian National Railways Authority said in a statement.

Dozens of ambulances were dispatched to transport the injured to nearby hospitals, while cranes were deployed to remove the wreckage after traffic on the railroad was disrupted, Egyptian authorities said.
