On Sunday, a serious traffic accident occurred on the SP-501 highway in Santo Expedito, Brazil, when two cars collided head-on at km 59.500. The incident was serious enough to prompt the response from the Rodoviária police as part of their 'Operation Impact.' Initial reports indicated that five individuals sustained severe injuries, while one person suffered minor injuries, with all victims receiving immediate medical attention and being transported to the Santa Casa of Junqueirópolis.

The police have indicated that the cars were traveling in opposite directions when the collision occurred. One vehicle was occupied by residents of Irapuru; the 36-year-old driver and his 32-year-old passenger had differing degrees of injuries, with the driver being severely injured and the passenger sustaining lighter injuries.
