Two trains collided in northern Egypt killing at least 10 people and wounding 15 others on Wednesday (February 28th), the health ministry said.
The collision between a freight train and a passenger train took place in Behaira province, AFP reported.
Footage aired by state television showed at least two carriages had derailed in a rural stretch of land. Civilians and medics were seen removing wounded passengers and carrying them to ambulances.
Health ministry official Alaa Othman told state television that "all the wounded and dead have been removed from the scene of the accident".
The cause of the accident was not immediately clear, but it comes months after 41 people died in a train collision near the coastal city of Alexandria last August.
