At least 30 people have been killed in an accident at a railway crossing in Egypt. Another 28 people were wounded in the accident early on Monday, which occurred about 40km south of Cairo when a train ploughed into a lorry and a mini-bus. The head of the Egyptian Railway Authority, Hussein Zakaria, said the vehicles had ignored warning lights and chains blocking entry, and tried to drive through the crossing. Egyptians have long complained that the government has failed to deal with the country's chronic transport problems, with roads as poorly maintained as railway lines.
