A highway overpass has collapsed onto vehicles in the Brazilian World Cup host city of Belo Horizonte, killing two people.

The front of a commuter bus was crushed along with two apparently unoccupied construction lorries. A car was also reported crushed. It is unclear if people remain trapped under the rubble.
