Three people died and another 26 were injured in a horrifying high-speed motorway crash when their tourist bus smashed into an overturned lorry loaded with papaya fruit.
Grim dashcam footage shows how the bus rounded a bend on a motorway in Anchieta, in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil, on 27th April and ploughed straight into the stricken lorry.
As the it hits the lorry's trailer cases of fruit explode onto the tarmac and the impact sends the bus shooting backwards into a thicket of trees on the other side of the road.
The entire front of the coach is seen demolished in the crash as the clip comes to an end.
Bus driver Davi Lima, 44, and two passengers, named as 25-year-old Jadson Zordan, and Penha da Silva Pereira , 90, were killed in the crash.
