Owner of Tesla involved in motorcycle accident has 1.7 million followers and performed facial harmonization on Gretchen

Igor Costa Alves, a popular dentist and owner of a Tesla Cybertruck, was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident in São Paulo, which left one man dead.

Igor Costa Alves, a 36-year-old dentist known for his work in facial harmonization and with over 1.7 million social media followers, was the driver of a Tesla Cybertruck involved in a deadly accident early Wednesday morning in São Paulo's Itaim Bibi neighborhood. The incident left a motorcyclist named William Oliveira Santos dead after he was transported by emergency services but could not be revived.

Surveillance footage captured the moment when Alves' Tesla collided with the motorcycle as he was exiting the Max Feffer Tunnel on Cidade Jardim Avenue. The traffic light was green for Alves, who had been traveling towards Marginal Pinheiros, while the motorcyclist was reportedly proceeding straight. Authorities confirmed that a breathalyzer test conducted on Alves returned negative, indicating that there was no alcohol involvement, and there were no signs that he was speeding.

With his significant social media following, Alves has gained notoriety in the realm of aesthetic dentistry. His celebrity clientele includes the well-known singer Gretchen, adding to his public profile, which complicates the narrative surrounding the fatal accident. The incident raises questions regarding road safety in the area and the implications for individuals who hold public influence while navigating potentially dangerous situations.
