The train collision took place in the southern province of Sohag on Friday, causing some carriages to derail, Egyptian media said. The Health Ministry said that in addition to the 32 killed, 108 others were injured in the crash, with injuries ranging between fractures, wounds and bruises in different body parts. The state-run railway authority said that one of the two trains suddenly stopped after some people tampered with an emergency device on its carriages.
