A significant traffic jam formed on BR-116 in Campina Grande do Sul, Paraná, after a truck broke down on the evening of October 10. The breakdown caused a queue stretching approximately 30 kilometers by the morning of October 11, impacting traffic towards São Paulo. The concessionaire Arteris Litoral Sul reported that the traffic was eventually cleared by the Federal Highway Police (PRF). Tragedy struck during this congestion when a man was found dead in his pickup truck, a victim of gunfire. The incident occurred around 11:45 PM on the same night as the truck breakdown, and the deceased was a local resident. The circumstances suggest that the victim was targeted while his vehicle was stationary in the traffic jam created by the earlier breakdown, with an assailant approaching the truck to fire shots. The identity of the victim has not been disclosed as investigations continue. The situation raises concerns about safety in traffic jams, particularly when combined with unexpected breakdowns that create hazardous conditions on the roads. The involvement of law enforcement will likely focus on understanding the motive behind the shooting and preventing such violence in similar scenarios in the future.
