Overpass collapses in Belo Horizonte,Brazil Thursday July 03,2014



An unfinished overpass collapsed in the Brazilian World Cup host city of Belo Horizonte on Thursday July 03,2014, killing at least two people and casting a shadow over a tournament that has suffered repeated construction accidents and delays.


The bridge, located about two miles from the Mineirao Stadium where World Cup games are being played, collapsed as vehicles were passing on a busy road underneath.


Part of a passenger bus was crushed and another car was still trapped in the wreckage hours later.


According to witnesses, workmen were removing the iron structure surrounding the concrete viaduct when the road suddenly collapsed
