Rural producer goes to pick up new truck and finds R$ 150,000 vehicle destroyed by fire in MS
A rural producer discovered his recently purchased R$ 150,000 truck destroyed in a fire upon arriving to pick it up in Campo Grande, Brazil.
In Campo Grande, Brazil, a rural producer faced a devastating surprise as he arrived to collect his new truck, worth R$ 150,000, only to find it engulfed in flames and severely damaged. The fire had occurred the night before, affecting a garage where multiple vehicles were parked. According to reports, the fire broke out late on Friday and required intervention from the local firefighter crew, though by the time police arrived, the flames had already been extinguished.
The producer had initially made a R$ 40,000 down payment on the truck and intended to settle the remaining balance when he arrived. Tragically, instead of driving away with his new vehicle, he was met with the shocking sight of the burnt-out shell of the truck. The incident also impacted five other vehicles, including three Ford Rangers and a BMW X5, all of which were left in ruins due to the blaze.
Local authorities are treating the situation seriously and have launched an investigation into the cause of the fire, suspecting it may have been started intentionally. This unfortunate event underscores the risks of vehicle storage and the potential for criminal activity, highlighting the need for increased safety measures in such facilities to prevent similar future incidents.
