FOUR people have died after a dump truck smashed into a pedestrian bridge on a busy highway in northern Rio de Janeiro.
The crash on Tuesday caused the walkway to collapse onto three cars and a motorcycle below.
At least four people were killed and another four injured, according to Lamsa, a private company that administers the toll road.
Witnesses said there were only two people on the yellow metal pedestrian bridge when the accident occurred just after 9am local time.
Mayor Eduardo Paes told reporters at the scene that the trailer of the truck was clearly above than the 4.5 metres permitted for use on the highway, known as the Yellow Line road, which cuts through gritty northern and western portions of Rio.
Paes said authorities were trying to confirm if the truck's bed was raised when it hit the walkway.
Regardless, "an infraction was being committed because trucks aren't allowed on the Yellow Line at that time of day", he said.
