A bus full of people collided with a truck and burst into flames in Brazil early this morning, killing at least 22 people, the fire service said.
The bus carrying 45 passengers suffered a flat tire causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle, which rammed into a lorry carrying tiles coming from the opposite direction at 4.00 am. local time, on a major highway near the town of Teofilo Otoni in the state of Minas Gerais.
The fire service said it rescued 13 passengers from the damaged bus. Three occupants of a car that was also involved in the collision and trapped under the truck survived.
“Firefighters recovered 22 bodies from the bus, and more victims will be removed,” said firefighter Alonso Vieira Jr. in a video released by the fire department.
He said a crane was needed to access another section of the bus where other victims are.
