On Friday, September 27, a serious traffic accident involving two trucks occurred on BR-040 in Três Rios, RJ. After the collision, a portion of the cargo from one of the vehicles was left scattered across the roadway, which unfortunately became the target of opportunistic looters. The local Military Police were notified of the incident, which, while not involving any injuries, raised significant concerns regarding public safety and the subsequent theft.

When police arrived at the scene in the Moura Brasil neighborhood, they confirmed both the traffic accident and the looting of the goods that had fallen from the trucks. The authorities noted that the section of the highway where the incident took place is overseen by the Federal Highway Police. Critically, by the time law enforcement reached the site, the culprits responsible for the theft had already fled, leaving no suspects apprehended.

G1 has reached out to the Federal Highway Police for further clarification on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the looting incident, but as of the latest update, no arrests had been made, highlighting the challenges in curbing criminal opportunism following traffic incidents in the area.
