SAO PAULO, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- A pedestrian overpass collapsed on Thursday onto one of the busiest expressways in Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city, slightly injuring two people.

According to the fire department, the bridge fell onto two passenger buses and a truck travelling along the Marginal Tiete, a roadway that connects the city's east, west and north.
