Surveillance camera footage captured the moment a train collided with a school bus in southern Brazil, killing two children and injuring five students and a teacher on Thursday.
The bus was transporting 25 students and three teachers from the Association of Parents and Friends of the Disabled when the accident occurred at an intersection in the city of Jandaia do Sul.
Two girls aged 11 and 15 were pronounced dead on the scene. The impact of the crash ejected at least four people from the bus, with one victim seen standing up before falling to the ground.
According to the Jandaia do Sul Fire Department, the driver of the bus said he was unaware that the train was approaching the intersection. Investigators are looking into whether the bus or train were travelling at excessive speeds.
The Jandaia do Sul Civil Police is investigating the incident, and the Institute of Criminalistics is analysing the accident. Paraná Acting Governor Darcia Piana declared three days of mourning for the victims.
