On the night of Friday, the 13th, a car collided with a utility pole on Avenida Paulo de Cuba Souza in Campinas, São Paulo, resulting in power outages for several homes in the area. Fortunately, the police reported that there were no injuries from the incident. Residents noted that the damaged pole has been leaning against a wall of a house since the collision, raising concerns about safety and the timeliness of repairs.

Local residents expressed their frustration about the delay in restoring electrical service, mentioning that the Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz (CPFL) sent teams to the scene during the night and again in the afternoon, but no maintenance work had been completed. This has left many households without power for an extended period, which could potentially disrupt daily life and services in the neighborhood.

In response to the situation, CPFL released a statement assuring the public that teams are being mobilized to replace the damaged pole and restore power as soon as possible. The incident highlights the challenges of quick response times for utility repairs following accidents and raises questions about the infrastructure's resilience in the area.
