In São Bernardo do Campo, a bridge that was under construction collapsed on the night of Tuesday, April 10, leading to injuries for two individuals. The collapse occurred on the Corredor dos Couros, near Avenida 31 de Março, during the installation of beams for the project. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene, and reports indicated that one of the injured was a man without identification, while another person complained of shoulder pain and was transported to the Municipal Hospital of Diadema for treatment.

According to the São Bernardo municipality, following the collapse, a worker at the site jumped into the river, likely in response to the panic caused by the incident. The local government provided details confirming that the collapse happened while workers were launching protective cables for the bridge. Mayor Marcelo Lima's administration issued a statement addressing the tragedy and has promised thorough investigations into the causes of the structure's failure.

This event underscores the potential dangers associated with construction activities and raises concerns about the safety protocols in place during ongoing projects in urban areas. The city's administration will likely face scrutiny regarding accountability and preventive measures taken to ensure worker safety. As investigations continue, there may be broader implications for future infrastructure projects in São Paulo and beyond, particularly in light of recent safety standards discussions.
