At least 12 people were killed and three others injured Thursday as a passenger bus overturned into a canal in Egypt's Beni Sweif province, around 120 km south of the capital Cairo, media reported.
The accident took place at Beni Sweif-Minya Agricultural Road.
The rescuers and residents managed to save three passengers from the drowning vehicle, and pulled out one body while searching for eleven missing bodies, Xinhua reported citing the state-run Al-Ahram news.
Egypt has recently been rocked by fatal road accidents over the past couple of months.
