Al-Ayyat Rail Accident
The Public Prosecution ordered the detention pending investigation of the Raqa station controller and stationmaster in connection with the collision between two trains in Ayat, Giza Governorate. It also ordered that the assistant driver of Train No. 134 be held until he could be questioned. Initial investigations revealed that the train driver had disabled the automatic control system, while the station controller and stationmaster had failed to monitor the signal board. The controller also tampered with the signal logbook to conceal his negligence. Injured passengers said the train was traveling at speed before the collision. The Attorney General formed a technical committee of professors from Cairo University’s Faculty of Engineering to examine the causes of the accident and the operating and signaling systems, and to determine any failings and who was responsible. The prosecution’s investigation is ongoing.
