A minibus has plunged into a ditch in a horror crash in Egypt killing 21 people, including three children.
The vehicle was driving through the northern Dakahlia province, 60 miles north of the capital, today.
It was effectively stuck vertically in the swamp-like terrain, leaving the passengers helpless as it slowly sank.
A rescue team worked to free passengers as police cordoned off the scene though a large crowd gathered, reports the Daily Star.
