Motorcyclist is thrown by a car that invades the wrong way in MT; VIDEO

A motorcyclist was seriously injured after being hit by a car that drove into oncoming traffic in Sorriso, Brazil, and the incident is under investigation.

On Saturday, October 28th, in Sorriso, Brazil, a serious traffic accident occurred when a car entered the wrong lane and collided with a motorcyclist at the intersection of Rua LupucΓ­nio Rodrigues and Avenida Imigrantes. The impact was severe, launching the motorcyclist over the car's windshield before she fell near the curb. Eyewitnesses reported that the driver was making an illegal left turn where there's a stoplight present, indicating a violation of traffic rules.

Emergency services were promptly dispatched, and the victim was found to have suffered a fractured femur. She was taken to a hospital for treatment, and her condition post-accident remains critical. While details on whether the driver assisted the injured motorcyclist were unclear, the incident has attracted significant attention due to the reckless nature of the driver's actions.

In a troubling turn of events, a suspect was arrested shortly after the incident for stealing the victim's cellphone, which had fallen to the ground due to the collision. This adds another layer to the ongoing investigation as authorities aim to address both the traffic offense and the criminal act. The police are actively looking into the case to ensure accountability for both the driver and the individual involved in the theft.
