At least 19 people were killed Saturday and six others injured when their minibus overturned and plunged into a canal in the Nile Delta in northern Egypt, the Health Ministry said.
The minibus, which was pulled out of the water, was badly damaged and its windows were shattered, said journalists at the scene.
According to official figures, 7,000 people died in traffic accidents in 2021 in the Arab world’s most populous country of 104 million people.
In July, 25 people were killed and 35 injured when their bus slammed into a truck parked on the side of the road in central Egypt.
