A woman is in a critical condition after being hit by a train in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura.
The woman was walking across the tracks on Thursday morning when the train struck her.
She has been transferred to a local hospital.
Hundreds of local residents blocked the tracks in protest at the accident.
Egypt has been hit by a spate of train accidents in recent days. A train hit a taxi on the track in the Ard El-Lawa neighborhood of Giza on Wednesday, killing four.
On Monday, a train derailed in the Giza suburb of Badrashin, killing 19 and injuring 120.
The 12-carriage train, which was carrying 1328 conscripts, was en route to Cairo from Upper Egypt when one of its cars - carrying around 200 soldiers - derailed, hitting a goods train parked outside a storage depot.
