Ammon News - A locomotive crashed into the tail of the Cairo-bound passenger train Sunday in southern Egypt, injuring multiple people, authorities said. It is the second train crash in a month in the North African country.

The collision occurred in the province of Minya, 270 kilometers (about 168 miles) south of Cairo, the railway authority said in a statement, and two railway carriages fell into an adjacent watercourse. The cause of the crash was being investigated, the statement added.

Footage aired by local media showed the two carriages partially submerged in the watercourse.

The Health Ministry said in a separate statement at least 20 people were taken to hospitals.
