Footage shows a man narrowly avoiding falling into a river in southern Brazil as a motorway bridge gave way on Tuesday.
Heavy rains – triggering huge floods in the state of Rio Grande do Sul – have killed 39 people, with 68 still missing, local officials say.
Tens of thousands have fled their homes and there have been power cuts and water outages.
The extreme weather has been caused by a rare combination of hotter-than-average temperatures, high humidity and strong winds.
