There was an accident at Rio’s world famous carnival. Some dancers were performing on a floating board. A truck carrying the board lost control on wet pavement and crushed some people against a fence. The truck then changed direction and injured more people that were standing on the other side of the road.

At least twenty people were injured, three of them in serious condition. Police have started an investigation. They are questioning the driver.

Difficult words: float (move on water or liquid), fence (a structure that divides two areas, similar to a wall).
