Out of control truck hits parked cars at traffic light in Presidente Prudente

An out of control truck collided with at least five parked cars at a traffic light in Presidente Prudente, Brazil, but no injuries were reported.

On the morning of Wednesday, September 25, an out of control truck crashed into several parked cars at a traffic light on Avenida Joaquim Constantino, at the intersection with Avenida da Saudade, in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo. According to initial reports from the Military Police, the truck reportedly lost its brakes and rolled down the avenue before colliding with the vehicles. Fortunately, despite the chaos, no one was injured in the incident.

Rescue teams were called to the scene and provided assistance to two elderly individuals who experienced distress due to the situation; however, there were no recorded injuries. The Military Police indicated that, since there were no victims and the vehicles were cleared from the area, a forensic investigation was deemed unnecessary. The exact number of cars hit is still uncertain as some drivers left the scene following the incident.

This event highlights the potential dangers associated with vehicle malfunctions, particularly in urban environments where traffic interactions are frequent. While the outcome in this case was fortunate with no major injuries reported, it serves as a reminder of the importance of vehicle maintenance and the awareness needed by drivers in such situations.
