A serious accident occurred on Sunday night in São Roque, Brazil, when a motorcyclist collided with the rear end of a truck that was parked on the roadside due to a mechanical failure. The incident took place on the Quintino de Lima highway (SPI-060), which connects to the Raposo Tavares highway (SP-270). The truck had broken down and stopped on a section of the road that lacks a shoulder, leaving the motorcyclist with little room to maneuver and avoid the crash.

Following the initial collision, another accident unfolded shortly after when a car that had stopped to assist the injured motorcyclist was struck from behind by another vehicle. This second vehicle's driver fled the scene without providing assistance to the occupants of the car, which, as a result of the rear-end collision, was propelled into the stopped truck. This series of accidents highlights not only the dangers of mechanical failures on highways but also the risks faced by those who attempt to help in emergency situations.

According to the highway concessionaire, the motorcyclist suffered serious injuries from the crash, raising concerns about road safety on this stretch of highway. The lack of a shoulder along the road makes it more dangerous for stationary vehicles and poses a risk for passing motorists, underscoring the need for infrastructure improvements and more effective emergency response protocols at accident sites.
