Car is crushed between truck and bus on highway in Amapá; VIDEO

A car was crushed while trying to squeeze between a truck and a bus on the Duca Serra Highway in Amapá, causing significant traffic congestion.

A car became wedged between a truck and a bus on the Duca Serra Highway in Macapá, Brazil, on the afternoon of Monday, October 9. The incident occurred as the three vehicles approached a recently constructed speed bump in front of the Cabralzinho neighborhood. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries from the accident. The motorist who captured the event on video demonstrated how the small Mobi vehicle was unable to clear the passage between the larger vehicles.

The Duca Serra Highway serves as a crucial access road between the cities of Macapá and Santana, making the situation particularly troublesome for local commuters. Following the crash, a significant traffic jam formed, halting a line of vehicles attempting to travel from Santana to Macapá. This disruption highlighted the importance of road safety and awareness, especially on busy highways where sudden obstacles or congestions can lead to serious accidents.

Local traffic police, specifically the State Highway Police Battalion (BPRE), were deployed to the area to manage the congestion and ensure the safety of the remaining vehicles. The incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain cautious around larger vehicles and to pay attention to road signage warning of sudden stops, such as the speed bump where the accident occurred, to prevent similar incidents in the future.
