Wendyla Souza da Costa, a 17-year-old girl, died in the early hours of Wednesday, October 18, after a serious collision between the motorcycle she was riding as a passenger and a car in the Guarani neighborhood of Mâncio Lima, Acre. The motorcycle's driver sustained a head injury but remained conscious, while another passenger in the car was found inside the vehicle further from the accident scene. The motorist involved in the collision has not yet been located, prompting the victim's family to demand justice.
According to Rafael Mota, a corporal in the Military Police of Acre (PM-AC), the 6th Battalion was alerted to the incident around 4:30 AM. Upon arrival, police discovered the teenage victim on the motorcycle, along with the driver, but could not find the car that had been involved in the accident. Emergency medical services (Samu) were providing initial care to the injured individuals, who were subsequently transported to a medical facility for further treatment.
The family of Wendyla Souza is grieving her loss and emphasizing her potential, with her uncle describing her as having 'a bright future.'
