Some 27 ambulances have taken the wounded to three public hospitals in Alexandria, said the ministry's spokesman Khaled Megahed.
The wounded suffered fractures, cuts and abrasions, Megahed added.
The incident came only a few hours after a train collided with two minibuses in Helwan City near the capital Cairo on Monday, which killed at least two people and injured six others.
The old infrastructure and poor management are believed to be blamed for frequent such accidents in Egypt. At least 20 people died and 199 others were injured on March 26 this year in a train crash in the country's southern province of Sohag.
