CAIRO (Reuters) - Two Egyptian passenger trains collided Saturday south of Cairo, killing at least five people with more bodies believed caught in the rubble, medical sources said.
Al Arabiya television said the accident happened when one passenger train collided with another that was stationary on the tracks.
At least 25 people were injured, the sources said.
A series of road and rail accidents in Egypt in recent years has triggered a public outcry over the government's handling of transport safety.
A train crash in northern Egypt killed 44 people in 2008, two years after a crash that killed 58 people. In 2002, at least 360 people were killed when fire ripped through seven carriages of a crowded passenger train.
