VIDEO shows skewered meat cart being delivered after repairs from an accident and is hit for the 2nd time in the same place in MT

A street vendor in Brazil experiences a second accident with his skewered meat cart shortly after repairs from a previous incident.

A skewered meat cart belonging to street vendor Pipo Figueiredo, 45, was delivered on Thursday, the 26th, after undergoing repairs due to a previous accident that had occurred just a week earlier. What is particularly striking is that, upon receiving the cart, it was hit by a vehicle at the same location in Sinop, Brazil, 503 km from CuiabΓ‘. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in either incident. Pipo was filming the delivery when the second accident occurred, expressing disbelief at his situation and emphasizing how unlucky it felt to be struck again so soon after the first mishap.

Pipo described the first accident, which occurred on the 13th, at the same intersection where the second collision transpired, leading to substantial out-of-pocket costs for repairs. He initially spent R$ 1,200 on the first accident, and now estimates that he will need over R$ 5,000 for the second repair. His resilience is evident as he noted the irony of his unfortunate events, stating that "unluckiness attracts like good luck."

In the period following the first accident, Pipo ingeniously adapted to his loss by creating a mobile grill to continue serving customers while minimizing financial losses during the downtime without his main cart. He showcased an admirable entrepreneurial spirit, illustrating the challenges faced by small vendors as they navigate unexpected setbacks in their livelihoods.
