In Tarauacá, a city in the interior of Acre, a cart that was attached to a motorcycle became detached and hit three children while they were playing outside. This incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon, and fortunately, all children survived the accident with minor injuries; one had only a scratch on the leg. Video footage captured by a security camera shows the cart detaching from the motorcycle and colliding with the children, who were in front of a house at the time, accompanied by adults.

The motorcycle driver claimed the incident was accidental and expressed his regret for the accident. He stated that he was not speeding and that the cart, being empty, gained momentum before detaching from the motorcycle. According to the official statement from the Tarauacá City Hall, after the accident, the driver stopped to provide assistance to the injured children, demonstrating a responsible reaction to the unforeseen incident.

This incident raises concerns about road safety, particularly regarding the regulation of vehicles like motorcycles towing carts. It highlights the potential dangers present in suburban and rural areas, where such vehicles may operate with less oversight than in urban settings. The local authorities might consider reviewing safety protocols for motor vehicle operations in the region to prevent future accidents of a similar nature.
