A tragic accident occurred late Saturday night on the BR-364 highway in Brazil, resulting in the death of a motorcyclist and injuries to 28 others. The collision involved a microbus transporting worshippers returning from a church service in Ouro Preto do Oeste to Presidente Médici. According to the Federal Highway Police (PRF), the incident happened around 11 PM when the microbus collided with a motorcycle and another car, causing the microbus to veer off the road and roll down a slope.

The microbus was filled with passengers returning from a religious function when the crash occurred. Video footage shared on social media captured the moment passengers were evacuating as the vehicle overturned. The PRF reported that while all 28 injured suffered only minor injuries, the motorcyclist, who was alone, succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released, and investigators are currently determining the factors that led to the crash.

This incident sheds light on the dangers present on Brazilian highways, particularly as they can be busy with both commercial and personal transportation. The ongoing investigation by the PRF aims to clarify the events leading up to the collision and ensure accountability for any traffic law violations. The local community is likely to feel the impact of this tragedy, emphasizing the need for road safety measures to protect both motorists and pedestrians.
