A surveillance camera captured the harrowing moment when 52-year-old paralympian Marleide Sales da Silva was hit by a drunk driver during a street race celebrating International Women's Day on March 8 in the Centro-Sul area of Manaus. The incident occurred at the intersection of Avenida João Valério and Avenida Maceió, where two traffic agents from the Municipal Institute of Urban Mobility (IMMU) were present. The footage reveals one agent gesturing for vehicles to stop while a red car disregarded the signal and accelerated through the intersection. As the video continues, it depicts Marleide descending Avenida João Valério, accompanied by another traffic agent on a motorcycle. While the motorcycle officer was able to brake in time, Marleide was unable to avoid the collision, and the SUV struck her. This tragic event highlights the dangers faced by runners and pedestrians, especially during organized events, as safety measures on the streets can often be overlooked. The implications of this accident are significant, as it raises awareness regarding road safety for vulnerable road users such as athletes, especially those participating in events meant to promote empowerment and awareness. It also brings to light the consequences of driving under the influence, prompting discussions on stricter enforcement of traffic laws and measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
