On Thursday afternoon, a serious accident occurred in Divinópolis when a 43-year-old driver lost control of his pickup truck and crashed into a stationary truck on Avenida Antônio Neto, in the Danilo Passos II neighborhood. The impact was significant enough that the driver became trapped in the wreckage, requiring immediate assistance from emergency responders. Reports indicate that the driver of the parked truck was outside the cabin at the time, seeking information about a route, which likely contributed to the situation going unnoticed until the impact.

Emergency services, including the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu), were summoned shortly after the collision occurred around 1 PM. They dispatched both Basic Support and Advanced Support units, as well as fire department personnel to manage the scene and provide care to the victims. The truck driver was on foot at the moment of the incident, which raises questions about safety protocols in the area. Fortunately, the other two occupants of the pickup truck were able to exit the vehicle before the arrival of emergency services, although they suffered injuries and showed signs of confusion at the scene.

Authorities are now investigating the circumstances leading to the crash, particularly focusing on the events leading up to the collision and potential negligence. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding road safety and the importance of adhering to caution, especially in areas where vehicles might be parked and thus pose a hidden danger to other road users. The health and recovery of the injured individuals are now a priority for the emergency responders and the community following this unfortunate event.
