CAIRO (AP) Egyptian officials say the death toll from a train crash south of Cairo has risen to 26, after two of the injured died in hospital.
The train slammed into at least three vehicles, including a truck, crossing the tracks early on Monday near the village of Dahshur.
Most of the dead and injured were family members returning from a wedding in Cairo.
The head of Egypt's emergency services, Ahmed el-Ansari, says 28 people remained in hospital, mostly with fractures, crush injuries and lost body parts.
Egypt is notorious for train collisions and has a poor safety record blamed on decades of badly maintained equipment.
