The driver of a minibus that overturned in São Pedro, Brazil, was not licensed to operate such a vehicle, according to local authorities.
On the morning of Wednesday, October 18th, a minibus overturned in the Serra de São Pedro area of São Paulo state, injuring a 34-year-old man. The São Paulo Secretary of Public Security (SSP-SP) reported that the driver did not have the appropriate driver’s license (CNH) for this type of vehicle. The incident occurred when the driver lost control of the minibus, which then crashed into a metal guardrail and overturned.
Rescue teams quickly arrived on the scene to assist the injured, and local authorities initiated an investigation into the circumstances of the accident. According to the police report, the incident is classified as "culpable bodily injury while driving a motor vehicle" and “driving without a license,” which suggests potential legal implications for both the driver and the transport company involved.

This incident raises concerns regarding passenger transport safety and regulatory compliance in the region, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that drivers are properly licensed and trained to operate their vehicles safely.
