In São Vicente, located on the coast of São Paulo, a tragic accident occurred where a 69-year-old woman was struck and killed by a 19-year-old motorcyclist. The incident happened on Monday, October 9, 2023, on Rua Guilherme Guinler in the Catiapoã neighborhood. The accident was captured on surveillance video, which shows the woman walking outside the sidewalk when the motorcycle approached at high speed. The video also captured the sound of the motorcycle’s horn just before the collision.

Following the accident, emergency services from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) arrived at the scene but unfortunately pronounced the woman dead on arrival. The motorcyclist sustained injuries to his arms and legs and was taken to the Central Emergency Room for treatment. Once released, he provided a statement at the 1st Police District of São Vicente, touching on the police's ongoing investigation into the incident.

This incident raises important questions about road safety, particularly concerning the responsibilities of both pedestrians and motorcyclists in urban areas. It highlights the need for greater awareness and adherence to traffic rules, as well as the potential for increased enforcement to prevent such tragedies in the future. Additionally, the release of the surveillance footage is expected to aid in the investigation and public discourse surrounding traffic safety measures in São Vicente and similar locations across Brazil.
