A bus carrying a football team in Brazil had an accident: 3 players died.

A terrible traffic accident occurred in Brazil. The bus of the American football team Coritiba Crocodiles, which was on its way to a championship match in Rio de Janeiro, overturned. Three players lost their lives in the accident, while six others were injured.

The Coritiba Crocodiles team announced on their social media account that the players who lost their lives were Daniel Cross, Lucas Barros, and Lucas Padilha. It was noted that 20-year-old wide receiver Lucas Barros had recently shared about the NFL's first game in Brazil.

The team management stated, "Our hearts are filled with pain. In the face of this tragedy, all our efforts have been focused on supporting the team members and their families." The championship match was canceled due to the accident.

Local authorities reported that the injured are receiving treatment in the hospital and that they will investigate the cause of the accident. This tragic event has deeply affected the sports community in Brazil.

This tragic accident reminded many of a similar incident that occurred in England a few months ago. A minibus carrying South Shields FC fans overturned in West Yorkshire, injuring 17 people. It was also reported that seven individuals were seriously injured in that accident.

Both accidents have raised concerns about the safe travel of sports teams and their fans. Authorities are expected to take necessary precautions to prevent similar incidents from occurring.

The Coritiba Crocodiles team is paying tribute to the memory of their deceased players, while the Brazilian American football community is also in deep sorrow. The decisions and safety measures that the league management will take after the accident are eagerly awaited.
