The incident involved a total of four vehicles: two passenger cars, a truck, and an SUV. The exact sequence of events leading to the collision has not been disclosed, but it was reported that one vehicle hit the side of another, instigating the chain-reaction crash.

Emergency services from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) responded promptly to the scene and transported the injured occupants of the SUV to a local hospital for treatment.

The concessionaire responsible for the highway, Triunfo Concebra, stated that an investigation would be conducted, while officials from the Federal Highway Police (PRF) have yet to provide additional information about the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
