A spokesman for the Egyptian Ministry of Health says at least nine workers were killed when their bus plunged into a canal west of Cairo.

 

The spokesman, Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, added that 15 other workers were rescued from the waters of the Marioutiya canal.

 

A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said the bus fell off a bridge into the canal and that the cause of the accident was still unclear.
