At least 32 people died and 66 more were injured following a train crash Friday in Egypt, local officials say.
The crash happened near Sohag, about 230 miles south of Cairo and 36 ambulances were sent to the scene, Reuters reported.
“The trains collided while going at not very high speeds, which led to the destruction of two carriages and a third to overturn,” according to Reuters.
Someone activated the emergency brakes of the train, causing it to stop abruptly and be struck from behind, according to the Associated Press.
