Distress Call Clarified

The Ministry of Transport denied reports that the locomotive of train No. 2010, bound for Aswan, had broken down for more than an hour and twenty minutes before the Gerza signal tower, and that its driver had called for help from three signal towers without receiving a response. The Ministry said the train’s driver had told ministry officials that the statements attributed to him were false. An investigation is under way into the collision between trains No. 134 and 2010 in the city of Al-Ayyat. The Public Prosecution has formed a technical committee to determine the causes and circumstances of the accident and identify those responsible. It urged the public not to circulate unverified information before the investigation’s findings are announced.
