In the morning of Wednesday, the 18th, two individuals were injured in a traffic accident on the Salim Antônio Curiati Highway (SP-245) in Cerqueira César, São Paulo. The incident occurred at kilometer 19, where two vehicles collided head-on, resulting in significant damage to the front of one of the cars, which became completely wrecked. Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene, and the condition of the injured parties remains unknown as they were transported to the emergency department in Avaré, São Paulo.

The local firefighting department reported that the accident caused both vehicles to come to a halt across the roadway, prompting urgent action from traffic authorities. The Department of Highways (DER-SP) subsequently closed off the shoulder of the highway for the duration of the emergency response efforts. Their response included the deployment of an inspection vehicle and a tow truck from the Basic Care Unit (UBA) to assist with the incident at the site.

As investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident are likely to follow, the case underscores ongoing issues related to road safety on Brazilian highways, where vehicle collisions frequently result in injuries and fatalities. This incident adds to the broader conversation about traffic regulations and safety measures that require attention in order to enhance road safety for all users.
