In Patos, Sertão da Paraíba, an incident involving an electric trio led to injuries sustained by a mother and her infant daughter. The event occurred during a local bloco, a festive street gathering, where the pair were observing from the sidewalk. As the electric trio struck an overhead power line, it pulled part of the house facade down onto the occupied sidewalk, resulting in the unfortunate accident.

The Brazilian Fire Corps confirmed that the mother, aged 38, was holding her 8-month-old daughter when the facade collapsed. Both were promptly taken to medical facilities: the mother to the Regional Hospital of Patos and the baby to the Children's Hospital in the region. They received necessary medical care and were later discharged, indicating that their injuries, while serious, were not life-threatening. This incident raises concerns about safety measures during public gatherings and the hazards posed by electric trios in urban settings.

Local authorities are likely to re-evaluate safety procedures surrounding these events to prevent future occurrences. The community's response will also play a significant role in addressing public safety and ensuring the security of festival environments as they navigate the cultural importance of such festivities along with the imperative to protect participants and innocent bystanders alike.
