At least two people have been killed and 19 injured after an overpass collapsed in the World Cup host city of Belo Horizonte.

Television images showed part of a passenger bus crushed under the overpass, two trucks and a vehicle were also involved.

"The overpass was in the final stages of construction and they were taking down the scaffolding when the accident happened," said a fire brigade spokesman.

Terrible.

Brazil's infrastructure seems to be held together with twist ties and duct tape.

The news changed it to one death and 20 injuries according to a Brazilian news station. Everything in Rio is a lot better than I expected. Of course, this is the main downtown area and not the favelas.
