At least two persons have reportedly been killed after an overpass bridge under construction collapsed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, one of the host cities for the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
CNN quoted firefighters, as saying on the micro-blogging site Twitter that two buses and a car were also damaged by the collapsed bridge.
The overpass traverses a major thoroughfare and is almost four miles from the 58,170-seat Estadio Mineirao where the World Cup games are being played in Belo Horizonte.
The overpass was supposed to have been completed in time for the World Cup.
Belo Horizonte will host Tuesday's semi-final match between the winner of the France-Germany match and the winner of the Brazil-Colombia game.
The city has so far hosted five World Cup games since June 14.
