📹 The Collision
Security cameras captured the moment a woman was struck by a vehicle in the Jardim Padre Augusto Sani neighborhood. The footage shows the woman leaving a bar owned by her mother located on Avenida Prefeito Dr. Alfeu Fabris. As she attempted to cross the street, the driver of a parked vehicle entered the car and engaged in a reverse gear maneuver.
The driver moved in the contramão (wrong way) of the avenue, a maneuver that is strictly prohibited, in an attempt to cross the flow of traffic. This action resulted in the vehicle striking the woman. Despite the impact, the woman suffered only escoriações (scrapes) and was able to leave the scene walking.
