Three teenagers, Regiane Barbosa Leite and Kaue Oliveira Dutra, both 16, and Gabriel Baldo de Souza, 17, tragically lost their lives in a motorcycle accident in Salto do Céu, Mato Grosso, on the night of February 2. A fourth teenager sustained injuries, though their identity remains undisclosed as of the last update. The accident occurred on Avenida Pedro Pedrossian, approximately 383 km from Cuiabá, highlighting the dangers associated with youth riding motorcycles.

The local response was immediate, with the Escola Estadual Deputado Francisco Eduardo Rangel Torres expressing deep sorrow over the deaths of their students.
