A tragic accident occurred in Cuiabá, Brazil, where a three-year-old child lost her life when the motorcycle she was riding collided with a truck. The incident happened on a Thursday in the Colina Verde neighborhood, highlighting the dangers of riding without proper safety gear, particularly for young passengers. Initial reports indicate that the child was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, which raises concerns about the safety measures taken during the ride.

The motorcycle, operated by a 24-year-old woman, was reportedly involved in an illegal maneuver, as it attempted to overtake another vehicle on a solid lane marking. Upon returning to its lane, the motorcycle struck the side of the truck, which was in the process of maneuvering to enter a church parking lot to unload materials. Both the motorcyclist and a 17-year-old passenger sustained injuries and were taken to the Municipal Hospital of Cuiabá for treatment, while the truck driver was unharmed.

Local police are investigating the incident to determine the circumstances surrounding the collision, including whether the motorcyclist had a valid driver's license. The case has been referred to the Traffic Crimes Division for a thorough examination, emphasizing the importance of adhering to traffic laws and safety regulations to prevent future tragedies, especially those involving children who are particularly vulnerable in such situations.
