At least 17 people died when a passenger bus overturned in northeastern Brazil, authorities confirmed on Saturday.
The vehicle, carrying around 30 passengers, crashed into a sand embankment in Saloá, Pernambuco, while en route to Brumado in neighbouring Bahia.
Police said the driver lost control, briefly crossed into the opposite lane, hit roadside rocks, then returned to his lane before striking the embankment, causing the bus to flip on its side. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The driver suffered minor injuries and tested negative for alcohol.
Bahia Governor Jerônimo Teixeira expressed condolences on social media and confirmed that local authorities were assisting with rescue operations and the identification of victims. “I am following the situation closely with my team and deeply mourn the loss of lives, the injuries, and the suffering of all the families,” he wrote.
