A tragic bus accident on BR-153, which killed seven people, was foreshadowed by a victim's video showing the bus traveling with faulty tires just hours before the incident.
In a tragic incident that resulted in the deaths of seven people on BR-153 in Marília, SP, victim Santana Barros de Oliveira documented conditions of a bus that was perilously traveling with only one tire on an axle hours before it overturned. The 30-year-old from Maranhão shared her concerns on social media, stating her apprehensions about the state of the bus, warning, 'May God protect us' as she highlighted the troubling mechanical problems she observed while recording.
The videos show the bus at a stop for tire replacement, but despite the evident risks, the vehicle continued its journey with improper equipment. Santana's footage serves as a haunting reminder of the potential dangers when public transportation is not adequately maintained. Her comments reveal her disbelief and fear about the bus's condition, emphasizing a dire lack of safety standards that could have played a role in the accident.
The information relayed by friends and witnesses after the accident points to a growing concern about passenger safety in the region, especially regarding the maintenance of public transport vehicles.
