A devastating car accident occurred on the afternoon of Saturday, October 14, on BR-116 in Inhapim, Brazil, leading to the deaths of a father and his two children. The incident reportedly happened after the family’s car was struck from the side by another vehicle that was attempting to overtake it. This side impact caused the father to lose control of the car, which veered off the road and plunged into a river, submerging the vehicle entirely.

The father tragically died at the scene, while his two sons, aged 14 and 3, were rescued but unfortunately succumbed to their injuries shortly thereafter. The children's mother was also in the vehicle and was rescued alive, although her medical condition has not been disclosed. This heartbreaking circumstance underscores the risks associated with highway travel, especially in regions where overtaking can lead to critical accidents.

Additionally, the occupants of the other vehicle involved in the collision sustained only minor injuries, as their car did not bear the brunt of the impact. This incident highlights not only the grief and loss faced by the family but also raises concerns about road safety conditions and the need for stricter regulations regarding overtaking maneuvers on busy highways.
