A bus carrying worshipers plummeted into a ravine in Brazil on Saturday, killing 41 people and injuring another 12.
The
bus veered out of a curve and plunged more than 1,100 feet in the rural
area of Serra Dona Francisca, the Joenville Secretary of Regional
Development said. The injured have been taken to hospitals.
All but four of the bodies of the deceased have also been recovered.
Rescuers
responded to the accident with 15 ambulances and a helicopter, CNN
affiliate TV Record reported. Four children are among the injured, the
broadcaster reported.
The annual rate
of road accident deaths in Brazil is roughly double that of the United
States, according to the World Health Organization. An estimated 43,869
people died there in traffic accidents in 2010.
