A tragic accident occurred on LMG-660 in Brasília de Minas, where a 39-year-old motorcyclist, Jânio Ferreira Rosa, lost his life after colliding with a car. According to the military police, the car driver stated that he was traveling on the highway when the motorcyclist unexpectedly appeared in front of him after coming from a rural community, resulting in a transversal collision that was unavoidable. This account was corroborated by a passenger in the car.

The incident unfolded on Thursday (19), and despite immediate emergency response, the motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Reports indicate that he did not possess a valid motorcycle license, adding to the gravity of the situation. Following the accident, the police conducted an investigation, and the body was subsequently transferred to the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) after standard procedures were carried out. Notably, the driver was tested for alcohol, and no consumption was detected.

Authorities emphasized that the accident took place on a straight stretch of the road that was well-marked and maintained, highlighting factors that contribute to road safety.
