Cairo: Three members of a wedding party died in the Egyptian capital Cairo when their car drove off a bridge and into the Nile River, state media reported late Sunday.

The car carrying the bride's sister, brother-in-law and four others "crashed through the metal barrier and fell" off a motorway near the southern Cairo district of Maadi, state-owned daily Al-Akhbar Al-Youm reported.

First responders "recovered the bodies of the sister of the bride" and two passengers.

They rescued two others including the brother-in-law, who was behind the wheel and "transported to hospital in a critical condition".

Rescuers "continued the search operation" for another missing person on Monday, the newspaper said.
