Heavy rain causes mass pileup in a São Paulo tunnel

Flooding in the Anhangabau tunnel in São Paulo, Brazil, left vehicles piled up and people stranded inside. Heavy rain was cited as the cause.

Heavy rain caused flooding in the Anhangabau tunnel in São Paulo, Brazil's largest city. The water left vehicles piled up inside the tunnel and some people stranded.

This is all that Al Jazeera's video report, published on 15 October, confirms. The source does not say how many people were affected or stranded, how many vehicles were involved, how any rescue was carried out, or exactly when the incident happened.

This report will be updated when more detailed information from Brazilian authorities becomes available.
