Fourteen people have been killed and 29 others injured after a bus overturned on a bridge amid flooding in eastern Morocco, the state news agency says.

The MAP agency says authorities are still searching for any others missing, and they recovered three bodies on Monday morning.

The bus overturned on Sunday near Errachidia, in a usually arid region hit by flooding after torrential rains.

It was travelling between the coastal city of Casablanca and Rissani, a town close to Morocco's eastern border with Algeria.

MAP says the bus driver was initially listed among the missing but then turned himself in for treatment at a hospital on Monday. It wasn't immediately clear how many people in total were on the bus.
