A float in Rio de Janeiro's Carnival parade partially collapsed with dancers on board, injuring several people early Tuesday.
Rio
de Janeiro's Municipal Health Secretariat said at least 11 were
injured. Nine people were transported to hospitals, Brazilian media
reported.
Firefighters assist after a collapse on a float during Rio's Carnival at the Sambadrome on February 28, 2017.
The
two-tier float was part of the lineup of the Unidos de Tijuca samba
school's parade. This year's theme was inspired by American jazz
culture.
This is the second
accident registered during Rio de Janeiro's two-day carnival parade. On
Sunday, at least 20 people were injured when a float from another samba
school crashed into a fence.
