Dozens killed and injured as two trains collide in Egypt
An Egyptian official says that a train collision in the coastal city of Alexandria has killed 25 people and injured 65 others. The head of the ambulance services in the city’s western sector, Dr Mohamed Abu Homs, said the collision took place in the western suburb of Khorshid on Friday. There was no immediate information on what had caused the collision. The trains collided head-on; one train was coming from Cairo and the other was coming from the city of Port Said, at the Suez Canal. Abu Homs said he feared the death toll and the number of injured could rise further.(theguardian)…[+]
