The president of the Municipal Chamber of São Bento do Trairí, José Eduardo Bezerra, tragically died after being hit by an excavator driven by Alex Silva, the city's secretary of works, during an incident that took place on Sunday (8) in the rural area of São Bento do Trairí, located 137km from Natal. The two men were reportedly friends, and the police confirmed that Bezerra was riding his motorcycle when the fatal accident occurred. The incident has raised several questions surrounding the circumstances of the accident and the role of the parties involved.

Currently, the Civil Police are investigating the details of the case, including how the accident unfolded and what the secretary was doing operating the excavator at that time. The investigation aims to clarify key questions such as the specific actions of each individual prior to the incident, and how the local government is responding to this tragic event. The community and the media have been eager for answers, especially regarding the factors that led to the councilman’s untimely death.

This incident could have broader implications, not only for the families and friends of the individuals involved but also in terms of community trust in local government officials. As the investigation progresses, it is likely to lead to discussions about safety regulations and accountability for municipal employees operating heavy machinery, especially in public spaces. Both the Câmara Municipal and the local Prefeitura (city hall) are expected to address the situation as it develops, responding to public concerns and providing updates on the ongoing investigation.
