A serious accident occurred on the Raposo Tavares highway in Sorocaba, São Paulo, where a driver was gravely injured after crashing into a truck that had overturned on the westbound lane heading towards the interior. The accident unfolded on the afternoon of Friday, the 13th, when the truck initially overturned, which then led to the car colliding with it shortly thereafter.

Emergency services responded promptly, and the injured driver was transported to the Conjunto Hospitalar de Sorocaba for treatment. Fortunately, the truck driver escaped unharmed in the incident. As rescue operations took place, a lane of the highway was blocked to facilitate the work of rescue teams. Despite the lane closure, there were no reports of traffic congestion in the area until 6 PM.

The cause of the truck's overturning has not yet been disclosed, leaving questions regarding safety and maintenance protocols for commercial vehicles on such busy highways. Local authorities are likely to conduct an investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the accident and prevent future occurrences.
