## Summary

Ten members of one family, including four children, drowned after their car entered a lake in Barra Mansa, in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state. The incident happened in the early hours of the morning; a passer-by alerted emergency services after seeing the overturned vehicle, but responders could not save those inside. The deaths are under police investigation, and it is not yet known how the car entered the water.

The victims were four women, two men, a baby, two boys and a girl, reportedly from neighbouring Volta Redonda. Specialist divers recovered the bodies, and police confirmed all ten died by drowning; none had been publicly named in the article. The report also recalled a separate May road crash in Bahia in which 16 relatives died after a van collided head-on with a truck.
