On Wednesday, a collision between a car and a motorcycle in Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, left a 39-year-old woman and her 12-year-old daughter injured. Police reports indicate that the 47-year-old driver of the car claimed he was parked and that the motorcycle, traveling down the road, collided with the side of his vehicle as he was exiting the parking spot.

The two victims were immediately assisted by the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) and transported to São João Batista Hospital for treatment. The police are awaiting updates on their health condition from the hospital following the incident. Reports indicated that the mother, who was riding the motorcycle, provided her vehicle's documents but did not possess a valid driver's license, raising questions about legal responsibilities in the accident.

Local authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision, as such incidents raise greater concerns about road safety, particularly regarding adherence to traffic regulations and the necessity of proper licensing for motorcycle riders. This situation illustrates the ongoing issues of road safety measures in Brazil and highlights the need for increased awareness among motorcyclists and drivers alike.
