A tragic head-on collision between a van and a truck on BR-251 in Grão Mogol, Minas Gerais, left nine dead and 12 injured. Early investigations show the truck crossed into the wrong lane, causing the crash. Rainy, wet conditions and fog may have contributed.
The van was carrying 19 seasonal workers returning to Ceará, but it was not authorized for interstate passenger transport. Rescue teams worked overnight, and authorities continue investigating the causes, vehicle conditions, and legal responsibilities.
