Vehicle accidents in Minas Gerais

Overview

Reports from Minas Gerais indicate various road-related incidents. In one instance, the Minas Gerais Court of Justice ordered the state highway department (DER-MG) to pay R$ 150,000 in damages following a fatal accident on the MG-188 highway. The court ruled that the agency failed in its duty to ensure road safety after a truck driver overturned while attempting to avoid a fallen tree.
