The flood of the Jurai River caused a bridge in a small town of Cachoeira do Sul to collapse on Sunday. Another two bridges in the region were closed since the water submerged the highway.
Uruguay and Argentina have also been affected by the bad weather. In the Brazil-Uruguay border region, water level of the Quarai River reached record-high 15 meters.
Heavy storms are common in Brazil during summer and the rain often leads to floods, causing evacuations and casualties.
