A tragic incident occurred on Sunday night (1st) in Mossoró, Brazil, where a 68-year-old man named Alfredo Neves de Melo was fatally struck by a car on a crosswalk on BR-110. The accident took place around 9:40 PM in the Costa e Silva neighborhood, as the victim attempted to cross the highway. According to the Federal Highway Police (PRF), the vehicle involved in the accident was a Renault Kwid heading towards Areia Branca when it hit the pedestrian. The driver of the car, a 22-year-old, reported that the accident happened in a dark section of the road, making it difficult to see the man as he crossed. Although he said he tried to brake, he was unable to prevent the collision. First responders from the Mobile Emergency Service (Samu) arrived at the scene but found the victim had already succumbed to his injuries, confirming the unfortunate outcome. This incident raises serious questions about pedestrian safety on highways like BR-110, particularly in areas that may lack adequate lighting. It highlights the ongoing need for improved road safety measures to protect vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, especially in urban areas where traffic density is high, and visibility may be compromised at night.
