A minibus overturned in a curve on São Pedro mountain in São Paulo, Brazil, on the morning of Wednesday, September 18, injuring at least 13 people. The incident took place around 8:20 AM on Municipal Road Elísio de Paula Teixeira, resulting in one lane of the road being closed, and traffic was managed under a stop-and-go system to allow for emergency response. The vehicle was reportedly transporting 12 passengers, along with the driver, at the time of the accident.

Emergency responders, including the Civil Defense and the Fire Department, were promptly on the scene to assist the victims. Reports indicated that two individuals sustained serious injuries and were transported to the Unidade de Pronto Atendimento (UPA) in São Pedro for medical treatment. The injured passengers were identified as workers from a company based in São Carlos, São Paulo, prompting concerns about workplace safety in the region.

The Civil Defense remained at the accident site, awaiting the arrival of investigators to carry out the necessary procedures. This incident underscores the potential hazards faced in curvy mountainous areas and raises questions about road safety measures, especially for vehicles transporting multiple passengers. Local authorities will likely evaluate the circumstances surrounding the accident to prevent future occurrences and ensure the safety of transport on these roads.
