32 die in bus accident in southeastern Brazil

At least thirty two people were killed in a bus crash in southeastern Brazil on Saturday, officials said, adding that the death toll could still rise.
The accident in Minas Gerais state involving a bus that was travelling from Sao Paulo left "between 32 and 35" people dead, a spokeswoman for the local fire department told AFP by phone.
"It was not yet possible to specify the exact number due to the state of the bodies," she added.
Officials gave conflicting accounts of the events.
Firefighters initially said the bus had blown a tyre near the town of Lajinha, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and hit a truck. Another vehicle also hit the bus from behind, officials said, but its occupants survived.
