Ten members of one family, five of them children, killed when their car went into a lake in Barra Mansa, Brazil

Ten people died early on Sunday when a car went into a lake in a rural part of Barra Mansa, in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state. A passer-by spotted the submerged vehicle and called for help, and firefighters with two divers brought the victims out, but all had already died. Five were adults and five were children, and Brazilian media report that a baby girl was among them. A relative told G1 that all ten belonged to the same family. The region had heavy rain on Saturday. Please pray for the relatives and friends of this family as they grieve so many loved ones at once, and for the firefighters and divers who recovered them.
