At least 20 people were killed and dozens injured when a locomotive smashed through the buffers and burst into flames at Cairo’s main train station on Wednesday, ONA reports quoting Reuters.

Egypt’s public prosecutor said a preliminary investigation indicated the driver stepped off the train to talk to another driver without pulling the hand brake, causing the unattended locomotive to speed off and hit a concrete platform.
