At least 17 people have been killed after a bus crashed off a highway overpass and onto train tracks in Brazil.
The bus with 40 passengers on board fell more than 15 meters and 26 people were transported to hospital suffering severe injuries.
Police say the driver jumped out of the bus and ran from the scene and a mechanical failure is being investigated as a possible cause.
