A 47-year-old man named Edson Pereira has gone missing after a boat accident on the Sepotuba River in Tangará da Serra, Brazil, which occurred late on the night of Saturday, October 28. The local firefighters received a call from family members who reported that a boat had capsized near the Calcário Bridge, leading to Edson falling into the water and subsequently disappearing without a trace.

Because the incident occurred at night, the rescue teams opted to start the search operations at 5:30 AM on Sunday, October 29, to ensure greater safety and efficiency in their efforts. The situation was particularly urgent as Edson had not resurfaced after the incident, and witnesses confirmed that he submerged after the impact of the boat capsizing.

As of the latest updates from the rescue operation, search efforts in the area of the accident continue, with no sign of the missing individual yet. The community and family members are hopeful for a positive outcome as local authorities and firefighters carry on with their dedicated search efforts in the Sepotuba River region.
