Brazil road accidents: fatal collision in SC and vehicle recovery in Curitiba
Several road accidents have been reported across different regions in Brazil. In Curitiba, a Volkswagen T-Cross plunged into the Bacacheri stream during heavy rains on Thursday night. The driver sustained minor injuries and was assisted by local residents before emergency teams arrived to recover the vehicle.
On the BR-376 highway, a truck carrying cornstarch avoided a major catastrophe by utilizing an escape area after experiencing brake failure. According to Arteris Litoral Sul, these safety structures have saved approximately 1,550 lives, with over 1,300 of those instances occurring on the Serra do Mar stretch.
In Santa Catarina, a severe collision involving four vehicles on the BR-116 in Correia Pinto resulted in the death of a 51-year-old woman. Two other individuals were injured in the crash, which involved a side-impact collision between a car and a truck. One truck involved in the incident overturned, though its driver was unhurt.
