The suspect driver involved in the fatal hit-and-run of guard Luciano de Sousa Carvalho has turned himself into the police two days after the incident.
The driver suspected of fatally hitting guard Luciano de Sousa Carvalho on BR-343 in Teresina presented himself to the police on Monday, two days after the tragic incident. He has been identified as João Henrique Campelo de Carvalho, and according to the Civil Police of Piauí, this development followed an investigation that took place after the event.
Police authorities confirmed that the suspect admitted to being the driver responsible for the accident, yet they are continuing their efforts to gather more evidence and details related to the case. Delegate Carlos César of the Traffic Crimes Investigation Department mentioned that they are diligently seeking additional proof to ensure comprehensive legal proceedings against the suspect.
This incident has struck a nerve in the local community, particularly since it occurred near the same area where a doctor lost his life just days before. The video footage from the incident shows both the victim and the suspect already positioned on the road, suggesting that the presumed cause of the accident might involve a lane change maneuver, as highlighted in a preliminary report. The ongoing investigation will likely scrutinize these details further to inform any legal consequences for the driver involved.
