Train collides with bus in Egypt, 7 killed
Egypt's health ministry on Friday said a train crashed into a bus carrying school children northeast of Cairo, killing seven people and injuring 24 others.
Two buses had crossed a railway line at what the railway authority described as an unauthorised crossing, but then a third was hit by a train, the Al Ahram newspaper reported. The train was not damaged and continued its journey.
Egypt's roads and railways have a poor safety record and Egyptians have long complained that governments have failed to enforce basic safeguards.
