At least 21 persons have been confirmed dead after a bus fell into a canal in northern Egypt on Saturday.

According to Al Jazeera, Sherif Makeen, an official of the ministry of health in Egypt, said three children were among the fatalities.

A total of 35 persons were said to be on board the bus when it fell into the canal.

Although there is no official confirmation on the exact details of what caused the crash, the incident was said to have been linked to a steering wheel malfunction.
