At Least 23 Killed in Head-On Collision Between Truck and Minibus in BrazilPreviousNext

A head-on collision between a truck and a minibus in Parana, Brazil, near Ipiranga early Wednesday killed at least 23 people, including 21 adults and two children, and injured five others. The truck, reportedly without cargo, crossed into oncoming traffic around 3:30 a.m., striking the minibus carrying healthcare workers, patients, and family members. Emergency teams responded, and authorities continue investigating the cause. The crash blocked the highway for several hours and is the deadliest in the region since 2021.
