It is not yet clear what caused the two vehicles to crash into each other in the early hours of Wednesday morning. At least 23 people, among them two children, have been killed and another five injured in a head-on collision between a minibus and a lorry in southern Brazil, highway police say. The crash happened early on Wednesday local time on the BR-373 highway in the southern state of Paraná. Local media reported that the minibus belonged to the health authorities of the nearby city of Imbituva and was transporting patients and their relatives to health appointments in Ponta Grossa, some 60km (36 miles) away. Authorities have opened an investigation to determine what may have caused the two vehicles to crash into each other. Among those killed is the driver of the lorry, police said. The highway was closed for almost seven hours while forensic experts and members of Brazil's federal highway police examined the site of the crash, which is located at kilometre 209. Deadly road traffic accidents are not uncommon in Brazil.
