In the early hours of Friday, a bus traveling on BR-364 in Cuiabá overturned due to a mechanical failure, leading to two passengers requiring medical attention. The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, which resulted in the bus tumbling onto the highway. Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene to aid the victims, who were subsequently taken to a nearby medical facility. Fortunately, the injuries sustained by the two passengers were not life-threatening.

The concessionaire Nova Rota do Oeste, responsible for the highway, confirmed that the incident temporarily blocked a section of the road at kilometer 398 for about thirty minutes while a tow truck was dispatched to remove the overturned bus. During this time, traffic was halted, raising concerns about congestion on this busy route. The authorities emphasized the necessity for safety measures to prevent such incidents, particularly in areas known for heavy traffic.

Additionally, a team from the Federal Highway Police was present at the site to provide assistance and ensure the area was safe for other motorists. This accident raises important questions regarding transportation safety protocols, especially in regions where mechanical failures can lead to significant traffic disruptions and potential injuries to passengers and drivers alike.
