Another 13 people were taken to hospital following the crash in the country's eastern state of Minas Gerais, the local fire department said. Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva described the incident as a "terrible tragedy".

The bus had reportedly departed from Sao Paulo and was carrying 45 passengers.

Authorities said the bus blew a tyre, causing the driver to lose control and collide with the truck. A car also collided with the bus, but all three of its passengers survived, according to the fire department.

All victims have been removed from the site, and an investigation is being conducted to determine the cause of the accident, authorities said.

According to Globo, a Brazilian media outlet, the truck driver fled the scene and is being sought by police.

According to the Federal Highway Police, the highway where the accident occurred was the deadliest in the country in 2023 with 559 deaths recorded, Globo reported.

In 2024, more than 10,000 people died in traffic accidents in Brazil, according to the Ministry of Transportation.
