A bus carrying a Brazilian football team flipped on a road south of Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, killing three people and injuring at least six, authorities said.
Local media reported the three dead were players from the American football team the Coritiba Crocodiles of the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba.
The team was headed Saturday to Rio de Janeiro, where they were set to play in the country’s American football championship. But the game was cancelled following the deadly accident.
Photos circulating on local news sites and social media show the damaged bus laying on its side in the middle of the road, reports The Associated Press.
