On Tuesday, a man was injured following the partial collapse of a kiosk roof located next to the statue of Our Lady of Health in Japaratuba. According to the local municipal government, the man was passing by when he heard an unusual noise and instinctively moved away, which likely prevented more serious injuries. He was treated for minor injuries at the local health clinic and is reported to be in stable condition.

Emergency services quickly responded to the incident and transported the injured man to the municipal health clinic for medical attention. After receiving treatment, he was reported to have sustained only light abrasions. Meanwhile, the local authorities have begun an investigation into the cause of the roof collapse to ensure the safety of similar structures in the area.

The local government's statement emphasized that there were no prior indications of structural irregularities in the kiosk, which had been maintained properly. This incident raises concerns about public safety and the need for regular inspections of such facilities, especially in areas with significant foot traffic, as the collapse could have resulted in more severe injuries or even fatalities had the timing been different.
