A bus transporting the Brazilian football club Esporte Clube Vila Maria Helena crashed 32 feet from a bridge, killing four persons.

The horrific accident at Além Paraba, in the state of Minas Gerais in the country's southeast, resulted in 29 further injuries.

Three kids, between the ages of 14 and 17, as well as one adult, were victims, according to the Brazilian website G1.
