A car accident involving three vehicles blocked the SC-401 in Florianópolis for about 50 minutes on Friday night, injuring the car's driver but leaving no serious injuries among bus passengers.
On Friday night, a car accident involving three vehicles occurred on the SC-401 highway in Florianópolis, causing a significant traffic disruption. The incident happened around 10 PM near the State Government Administrative Center, leading to the complete blockage of the road for approximately 50 minutes. Security cameras captured the moment when the driver lost control, crashed into a guardrail, and then crossed the road before colliding with a public transportation bus heading north.
The driver of the car was injured and required medical attention, although he passed a breathalyzer test indicating he was not under the influence of alcohol. The passenger in the car was unharmed, and thankfully, there were no injuries reported among the passengers on the bus. Authorities, including the Federal Highway Police (PRF), worked promptly to clear the accident scene, allowing the road to be reopened after removing the vehicles and cleaning the roadway.
This incident underscores the potential dangers of roadway accidents in urban areas, particularly on busy highways like the SC-401, which serves as a key route for both local and regional traffic. The quick response from emergency services helped avoid further complications, but it serves as a reminder for drivers to maintain control and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent accidents in the future.
