A 36-year-old woman was arrested in Campo Grande after being involved in a traffic accident that damaged three vehicles and raised suspicions of drunk driving.

On Tuesday night, a traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Ivan Fernandes Pereira and Hรฉlio Yoshiaki Ikeziri streets in Campo Grande, Brazil. A 36-year-old woman was arrested after her vehicle collided with the rear of two parked cars while driving in the south-north direction. The crash resulted in significant material damage, with her vehicle tipping onto its side and partially obstructing traffic at the intersection, also damaging a nearby trailer.

The police were alerted to the scene around 8 PM by the Military Traffic Police Battalion (BPMTran), who confirmed the incident upon arrival. The police reports noted that the woman was suspected of driving under the influence, having exhibited erratic behavior leading up to the collision. Additionally, two passengers aged 9 and 21 were present in her vehicle, raising further concerns about safety and responsibility during the incident.
