In a concerning incident in Sorocaba, São Paulo, a 2-year-old child fell from a moving car, leading to injuries. The incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, October 8, on Avenida Edward Fru Fru Marciano da Silva in the Jardim São Guilherme neighborhood. Surveillance footage captured the moment the driver, who was operating the vehicle without a license, made a turn that caused the rear door to fling open, resulting in the child falling onto the roadway. A bystander promptly rescued the child, while the vehicle continued moving until it collided with a utility pole.

Authorities, including the Military Police, responded to the scene and discovered that not only was the driver unlicensed, but the vehicle he was driving also had expired registration. In addition, there was a woman, age 26, and another child, aged six, in the vehicle at the time of the incident. Due to the seriousness of the situation, the police issued appropriate administrative penalties to the driver and confiscated the car, highlighting the potential dangers of unlicensed driving and ensuring vehicle regulations are upheld for public safety.

This incident raises significant concerns about child safety in vehicles and the importance of adhering to legal driving requirements. As investigations continue, the local community is reminded of the critical nature of responsible driving practices, especially with young children on board, urging parents and guardians to ensure that all safety measures are in place when transporting minors in vehicles. The consequences of such negligence can lead to severe repercussions, as demonstrated by this event.
