DHAKA: At least two persons were killed after a flyover has collapsed onto vehicles in the Brazilian World Cup host city of Belo Horizonte early Friday.

The concrete and steel bridge, which was under construction, fell onto traffic on a busy highway, reports The BBC.

The report includes that 21 more people were also injured in this incident.

It said that the front of a commuter bus was crushed along with two apparently unoccupied construction lorries while a car was also reported crushed.

“It is unclear if people remain trapped under the rubble,” report added.

The south-eastern city is due to host a World Cup semi-final match next week.

Confirming the matter, the health department of the state of Minas Gerais, of which Belo Horizonte is the capital, said the bus driver and another person were killed, and 21 more people were also injured.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said on Twitter that it was "with sadness" that she found out about the accident, and she offered her "solidarity to the victims' families".
