2 Dead as Flyover in Brazil Collapses on Vehicles
By Opeyemi Oladunjoye
At least two people were killed and 22 injured in the World Cup host city of Belo Horizonte, when a concrete flyover collapsed on to a bus and other vehicles on a road that was expanded as part of the World Cup infrastructure plan.
The driver of the commuter bus, a woman in her 20s, was among the dead. Two trucks and a car were also hit by the structure. The front of the yellow bus and what appeared to be a car crushed completely flat as there had been heavy traffic on the street below the overpass when it collapsed.
The accident happened about three miles from the Mineirao stadium, where several World Cup games have been played, including Costa Rica against England. It is due to host one of the semi-final matches next week.
