A 17-year-old girl was seriously injured when she was thrown off a motorcycle during a collision with a car in Cascavel, Brazil, where the driver fled the scene.

In a serious accident in Cascavel, Paraná, a 17-year-old girl was thrown from a motorcycle after it collided with a car at an intersection on Saturday afternoon.
