A 68-year-old woman died after being trapped under a car following a collision in Recife, Brazil.

In a tragic incident in the Imbiribeira neighborhood of South Recife, a 68-year-old woman lost her life after being run over during a collision between two vehicles. The woman was dining at an establishment along Avenida Mascarenhas de Moraes when a black car collided with a white vehicle and subsequently crashed into the restaurant, fatally striking her.

Upon receiving the emergency call, the Corpo de Bombeiros (Fire Department) dispatched two rescue teams to the scene. Emergency responders managed to extract the woman from beneath the vehicle and promptly initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an attempt to revive her, but sadly, she succumbed to her injuries. The circumstances surrounding the accident are now under investigation by local authorities to determine the exact series of events that led to this unfortunate outcome.
