VIDEO: bus crashes into guardrail and invades the opposite lane on the highway in Cabreúva

A bus without passengers crashed into a guardrail and partially invaded the opposite lane on a highway in Cabreúva, Brazil, though the driver sustained no serious injuries.

A bus traveling along the Dom Gabriel Paulino Bueno Couto Highway (SP-300) in Cabreúva, Brazil, crashed into a guardrail on Thursday, causing it to partially enter the opposite lane. The incident was captured by a security camera, showing the driver losing control and hitting the concrete barrier. Fortunately, the driver did not suffer serious injuries. However, a motorcyclist who was passing by was reported to have sustained injuries, though there is currently no information regarding their health status.

The bus crash blocked both lanes of traffic, with vehicles having to navigate through the shoulder until officials could clear the site. The local municipality's response included sending teams from Via Colinas, the company responsible for the road's maintenance, to manage the situation and ensure safety for all road users. Updates indicate that the situation was ongoing as efforts were being made to alleviate the traffic disruptions caused by the crash.

This incident reflects ongoing concerns regarding road safety on Brazilian highways, especially considering the potential risks posed by vehicles losing control. With the holiday season approaching in Brazil, authorities may need to consider increased safety measures to prevent similar accidents and enhance driver awareness to reduce the risk of further incidents.
