Brazilian authorities have released new video of a deadly tanker truck crash which left six people dead on a highway 400 kilometres south of São Paulo.

The video was captured by a restaurant security camera and shows a truck carrying more than 44,000 litres of ethanol lose control as it rounded a turn in the highway.

 

As the flaming truck continued to roll down the BR-277 highway, the fuel tank it was towing came free and began sliding down the highway, colliding with 14 approaching vehicles.

Parana State Police said the July 3 accident was caused by the truck driver going twice the posted speed.
