Egypt train collision kills seven and injures 125
Two trains travelling in the same direction collided near al-Ayyat, about 50 kilometres south of Cairo, killing at least seven people and injuring 125. Several carriages derailed after the crash outside Giza. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi ordered a prompt investigation into the collision, according to BBC and Guardian RSS reports.
Why it matters
The inquiry will face questions about rail safety and how two trains came to occupy the same route.
