According to RIA Novosti, the train driver, who crashed into the bump stop, left the cabin of the locomotive in order to clear up the relationship with the train driver of another tractor that blocked his way.
But when the driver left his cab, the driver of another diesel locomotive, in order to avoid proceedings, decided to back up.
At this time, the locomotive, which was without a driver, began to pick up speed and crashed into the bump stop and an extension of the main building of Cairo Central Station.
It is noted that the Ministry of Health of Egypt confirmed the death of 20 people.
Earlier it was reported that the Minister of Transport of Egypt, Hisham Arafat, resigned after the emergency.
