The bus was leaving the capital Sao Paulo for Teofiluotoni with 45 passengers on its way to the capital, Sao Paulo, when it lost its balance due to a tire puncture and stumbled, before colliding with an oncoming large cargo truck and being engulfed in fire, the investigation found.
Fire officials who responded to the scene said they recovered the bodies of 38 people from the bus and transported the injured to a nearby hospital.
Also, a car with three people collided with a bus, but fortunately, all of them were safe.
"We are mobilizing all of the state's available resources to help victims," Gov. Homeu Jema Minas-Gerais told X. "We will do our best to support the families of victims who have suffered the tragedy ahead of the blast."
