1:40Now PlayingTwo trains collided on Friday in southern Egypt, apparently after someone activated the emergency brakes, killing at least 32 people and leaving 108 injured, Egyptian authorities said.
Two passenger cars flipped on their side from the force of the collision, the latest in a series of deadly accidents along with Egypt's troubled rail system, plagued by poor maintenance and management.
Dozens of ambulances rushed to the scene in the southern province of Sohag.
The wounded were transferred to four nearby hospitals.
Their injuries included bone fractures, cut wounds and abrasions, a statement from Egypt's health ministry said.
The ministry said a plane carrying medical supplies and physicians covering different specializations flew from Cairo to Sohag, some 440 kilometers (270 miles) to the south.
Egypt’s Railway Authorities said the accident happened when someone activated the emergency brakes of a passenger train that was headed to the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.
The train stopped abruptly and was struck from behind by another train, the statement said.
The collision caused two cars from the first train to flip over.
