A mother and her 13-year-old son were involved in a serious motorcycle accident in Sorocaba, Brazil, resulting in the mother's death and the son's hospitalization.
In a tragic incident captured by a security camera, a motorcyclist and her 13-year-old son were violently thrown from their motorcycle after being struck by a car on Avenida Ipanema in Sorocaba, São Paulo. The mother, who died in the accident, was flung approximately 50 meters from the point of impact. Preliminary reports indicate that the motorcyclist and passenger were a family, highlighting the personal nature of this tragedy.
The collision took place early Monday morning on February 16, when the motorcycle, crossing the avenue, was hit by a car whose driver had a green traffic light. Evidence from the video shows the severe impact as both victims were thrown onto the road, while the driver of the vehicle continued on without stopping after the crash. The speed at which the vehicle traveled, even over a speed bump, raises further concerns about driver behavior and road safety.
Authorities have not disclosed the driver's condition following the accident, nor have they commented on any potential legal repercussions stemming from the incident. This event has understandably sparked outrage in the local community regarding traffic safety and the accountability of drivers in such situations, especially given the vulnerable nature of motorcyclists on the road. The local news outlet G1 continues to report on the developments surrounding this devastating event.
