A family of five were tragically wiped out after their car was crushed in between two lorries.
The horrifying crash in Santa Maria do Para, northern Brazil, had devastating results.

A teenager travelling in the car, the couple's 14-year-old niece Kethenen Wenil, also died at the scene.
The shocking accident happened on April 19 and nothing could be done to save any of the five passengers.
An investigation by the Federal Highway Police is ongoing, they have confirmed.
Video footage shows the family car being crushed between the two lorries.

After the accident, the driver of the second lorry was taken to the local police station.
It is not yet know if he faces charges.
A funeral service was held for the five family members in their hometown of Braganca, over an hour away from the scene.
