A vehicle belonging to the Civil Police of Brazil overturned on the BR-262 highway in Viana, Espírito Santo, resulting in injuries to two police officers and five inmates. All injured parties were transported to local hospitals, with initial reports indicating that none sustained life-threatening injuries. To respond to the incident, four ambulances from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) were dispatched to the scene, and both directions of the highway were temporarily closed to facilitate medical assistance and investigation of the accident.

The Civil Police of Espírito Santo confirmed that the vehicle was under the jurisdiction of the Superintendency of Interstate and Capture Police (Supic). The police report emphasized that all individuals involved received timely medical attention, aided by support from the Military Police, the Federal Highway Police (PRF), and the State Justice Secretariat. The incident illustrates the challenges faced by law enforcement and the transportation of inmates, adding scrutiny to safety protocols during such transports.

This rollover incident not only highlights concerns about the safety of police operations in Brazil but also raises questions about the transportation conditions for individuals in custody. Given the complex nature of policing and inmate transport in Brazil, this event may prompt further discussions on the need for improved safety measures and training for officers working under such potentially dangerous circumstances, especially when moving inmates through busy roadways.
