Fatal transport and emergency incidents continue to be reported in Brazil, Portugal, and Mozambique. In Mozambique, a collision on the N12 road near the Nacala-a-Velha dam killed 11 people, while a truck explosion in Matola “completely carbonized both vehicles and their cargo.” In Fogo, authorities are investigating a bus crash in Campanas de Cima that resulted in 25 deaths and 18 injuries; President José Maria Neves has called for “maximum priority” in assisting affected families. In Portugal, emergency services have managed wildfires and various fatal collisions, including an incident on the A3 motorway in Vila Nova de Famalicão and a crash in Quinta do Anjo, Palmela, which killed a young couple. Brazil reports a high volume of accidents involving high speeds, intoxication, or heavy vehicles. Recent fatalities include a 58-year-old mechanic in São Paulo, a 24-year-old singer in Ocara, a 16-year-old in Roraima, and a 20-year-old in Caçador. In Mato Grosso, a 4-year-old child died after a vehicle traveling at approximately 97 km/h struck another car. Other incidents include a 36-year-old driver in Lagamar following a truck rollover and fire, and a seven-month-old baby who died after being ejected from a truck in Paraná. Additional reports include a car falling into the Piquiri River, a vehicle colliding with a train in Canas, and multiple truck rollovers on the BR-262 highway. A large fire in Ipatinga destroyed several vehicles and a warehouse, and a house fire occurred in São Mateus do Sul. Investigations into reckless driving are progressing. In Cuiabá, Hercílio Junio Freitas Cordeiro, 22, remains in custody following a BMW collision that killed delivery driver Paulo Messias Simão da Costa; police reclassified the case as “intentional homicide,” alleging the driver was intoxicated and reached 177 km/h. In São Vicente, authorities are seeking the arrest of a 31-year-old man suspected of killing a 45-year-old cyclist with a luxury car before fleeing the scene.
