A passenger train derailed Sunday north of Cairo, killing at least 11 people and injuring around 100 others, Egyptian authorities said. It was the latest of several rail accidents to hit the country in recent years.
Four train wagons ran off the railway at the city of Banha in Qalyubia province, just north of Cairo, the railway authority said in a statement. Videos on social media showed wagons overturned and passengers escaping to safety along the railway.
A train has derailed in Sweden after colliding with a bus near the city of Gothenburg.
The accident happened at 07.39 local time on a railway crossing between the villages of Lillhagen and Gunnestorp.
Remarkably, no serious injuries have been reported in the incident. Three people have visited the health centre themselves with minor injuries, Swedish police said in a statement.
Around 50 people were on board the train, while the driver of the bus had left the empty vehicle before the collision.
Video from the scene showed a bus parked, apparently stuck, on the railway line before it was hit by the travelling train at speed.
