  • Head coach Ronan Tyezer remains in intensive care in Gurupi with grave injuries, according to the Tocantins state health authority.
  • Two athletes were discharged from hospital, other injured passengers are stable, and police said 32 people were on the bus.
  • Both drivers presented themselves to authorities, on-scene forensics were completed overnight, and the case is assigned to the 74th Police Station in Brejinho de Nazaré.
