A bus and a truck collided in Brazil’s central-western state of Mato Grosso late Friday, leaving 11 people dead and 45 others injured, according to the toll road operator and the federal highway police.

The injured were taken to nearby hospitals, with 11 in critical condition, 26 in moderate condition, and eight sustaining minor injuries, the company Nova Rota do Oeste and the highway police said in separate statements.

Preliminary findings indicate the bus crashed head-on into a truck carrying cottonseed near the city of Lucas do Rio Verde.
