The Giza Security Directorate received a report of a traffic accident involving a vehicle plunging into the Mariouteya Canal in Al-Badrashin.
Security forces immediately moved to the scene, where initial inspection showed that the driver lost control of the steering wheel, causing the car to veer off the road and overturn into the waterway.
The accident resulted in the death of all seven passengers. A formal report was filed, and the Public Prosecution has been notified to begin investigations into the incident.
