In a remarkable incident in Terra Roxa, Paraná, a 61-year-old truck driver survived an overturning accident that left his vehicle completely destroyed. The accident occurred on Friday afternoon when the driver lost control of the truck, which was loaded with cassava, and it toppled down an embankment on PR-589. Despite the severity of the crash, the driver emerged without serious injuries, a fact that astonished the responders who arrived on the scene.

The local fire department and emergency medical services were quickly deployed to the site of the accident. Upon arrival, they found the driver trapped inside the mangled truck but surprisingly alert and conscious. Witnessing the condition of the truck, which had been severely deformed, the firefighters were amazed that the driver only suffered minor scrapes and no fractures, indicating an incredible stroke of luck.
