A truck accident occurred on the BR-251 highway in Salinas, Brazil, resulting in injuries to the driver. The truck veered off the road at km 353 and rolled down a six-meter slope. Fortunately, the driver only suffered minor abrasions and was conscious following the incident. He could not clearly explain the circumstances leading to the accident but recalled that he was descending the highway when suddenly, the truck went off the road and fell into the ravine.

Witnesses reported that another driver, who was traveling in the same direction, witnessed the rollover and stopped to provide assistance. The injured truck driver managed to exit the vehicle independently and climbed back up the slope with the help of this witness. Emergency services arrived shortly thereafter, and the driver received initial medical treatment on the scene before being transported to a hospital in Salinas, where further care was provided.

At the time of the incident, the truck driver was en route from Ceará to Bahia, carrying a variety of cargo including electronics. This accident highlights the risks associated with truck transportation on Brazilian highways and raises awareness about the need for driver vigilance and road safety measures, particularly on routes known for steep descents and potential hazards.
