On Sunday afternoon, two traffic accidents were reported on BR-365 close to Patos de Minas, resulting in injuries to six individuals. The first incident involved a truck that lost control due to aquaplaning while traveling from Salvador, Bahia to Uberlândia, which subsequently rolled over. Thankfully, the truck was occupied by a 35-year-old man and his 9-year-old daughter, both of whom sustained injuries but were conscious and coherent when emergency services arrived.

Emergency response teams, including the Corpo de Bombeiros and the Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (Samu), attended to the victims, transporting them to the Regional Hospital Antônio Dias for further evaluation. The area was secured, and traffic management was handled until the arrival of the Polícia Rodoviária Federal, which took over the incident investigation.

This series of accidents on a major roadway highlights the potential dangers of driving during adverse weather conditions, especially in regions prone to heavy rain that can lead to aquaplaning. The quick response from emergency services likely mitigated further injuries, and local authorities may need to consider ongoing road safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
