São Paulo vehicle crash incidents

Entities: Campinas · Police (Brazilian) · Renovias · Rodovia Governador Adhemar Pereira de Barros (SP-340) · Jaguariúna

Overview

Mid‑July 2026 a municipal vehicle on Rua Vergueiro in São Paulo lost control, colliding with several cars and a motorcycle and injuring three people. Emergency crews cleared the road, prompting discussion about driver health and fleet safety.

On 26 July 2026 at about 09:50 a.m., a 24‑year‑old driver traveling at high speed struck the concrete barrier at the SP‑340 toll plaza near kilometre 123‑123.5 in the Jaguariúna/Campinas area. The impact launched the car into the overhead beam, partially collapsing the canopy of booths 16 and 18 and scattering debris onto the roadway. The driver later died in hospital; seven occupants of nearby vehicles were injured (one seriously, six lightly). Four toll booths were closed, while rescue teams from the fire brigade, SAMU and police secured the site. Police and concessionaire Renovias opened investigations, and the plaza was partially reopened after clearance.
