Dozens of coffins have been spotted floating along the road during a flash flood.

The cameraperson repeatedly shrieked “My god!” as the caskets bobbed along the fast-moving water.

The caskets drifted through the water-logged streets after a funeral home was inundated.

Twenty-two people died in the region’s city of Juiz de Fora, located north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Flash floods have destroyed homes and businesses, swept away cars, inundated medical centres and left a trail of destruction.

The authorities declared a state of emergency and closed local schools and daycare centres.

A spokesperson for Ubá City Hall said: “Families have lost everything.

“Homes, stories, memories: lives were shaken in just a few hours.

“Now, more than ever, our city needs the strength of its people.”

They added: “Teams from the Fire Department, Municipal Guard, and the Municipal Civil Defence Coordination have been working since the early hours of the morning, surveying the flooded locations, working on emergency solutions, and monitoring the affected areas.

“Teams are already working to restore services as quickly as possible.”
