Tragedy as 19 people killed and 6 injured as bus plunges into canal in Egypt

The bus was carrying about 35 people when it tumbled off a highway and fell into the Mansoura canal in the latest tragedy on Egypt’s poorly-maintained roads

At least 19 people died and six were injured on Saturday when a minibus tragically overturned in Egypt.

The bus was carrying about 35 people when it tumbled off a highway and fell into Mansoura canal in Aga, in the northern region of Daqahlia, the health ministry said.

Dr Sherif Makeen, a health ministry official, said three children were among the dead.

Egyptian media outlets reported the accident was caused by the malfunctioning of the steering wheel but did not elaborate further.
