A chilling video shows a pickup truck being swallowed by the waters of a mud river on a road in Brazil last Wednesday (January 15). Intense rains have put the region on alert for flooding.
The footage captured the moment when the pickup truck was seen stuck in the mud as the waters flooded the road, preventing other vehicles from crossing the section.
