In a tragic incident on Avenida Brasil in Juiz de Fora, a 66-year-old woman was struck by a private vehicle and later died from her injuries at Hospital de Pronto Socorro. The accident occurred on the morning of Friday, the 20th, when the woman unexpectedly crossed the street in front of a vehicle that was legally passing through a green light. Despite the driver's attempt to avoid the collision, it resulted in severe injuries to the pedestrian, who was found unconscious with significant trauma including a pelvic fracture and head bleeding.

Emergency responders from Samu arrived on the scene and rushed the woman to the hospital in critical condition, where she required intubation due to the severity of her injuries. Unfortunately, the city government confirmed that she passed away later that day, with further details about her identity not disclosed to the public. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding pedestrian safety in urban areas, particularly on major roads like Avenida Brasil that are frequented by both vehicles and pedestrians.

Adding to the day's unfortunate events, a police vehicle was involved in a separate accident on the same avenue shortly after the initial incident. The police had been responding to the accident when they attempted to maneuver around a private car, illustrating the challenges law enforcement face in emergency response situations. This string of accidents raises questions about traffic management and the need for improved safety measures for pedestrians and vehicles alike in busy city environments.
