CAIRO (AP) — Two trains crashed Friday in southern Egypt, killing at least 32 people and injuring 108, authorities said, in the latest of a series of deadly accidents on the country’s troubled railways. Someone apparently activated the emergency brakes on the passenger train, and it was rear-ended by another train, causing two cars to derail and flip on their side, Egypt’s Railway Authorities said. The passenger train was headed to the Mediterranean port of Alexandria, north of Cairo, the statement said. Video showed twisted piles of metal with passengers covered with dust trapped inside – some bleeding and others unconscious. Bystanders removed the dead and laid them on the ground nearby.
