Peugeot may have been involved in an accident with a truck before hitting the guard-rail and rolling over. An HB20 was also involved in the incident between Carambeí and Ponta Grossa.
A serious accident on PR-151, between Carambeí and Ponta Grossa, mobilized relief teams in the region of the Frankana descent, at the height of kilometer 316. The incident involved a Peugeot, a Hyundai HB20 and, according to preliminary information obtained at the scene, a truck. The Peugeot driver was thrown out of the car and sustained injuries considered serious.
According to the first information raised during the service, Peugeot was initially involved in an accident with a truck. The car then hit the side metal guard rail of the highway, known as the guard rail, and capped.
With the violence of the impact, the driver was ejected from the vehicle and fell on the edge of the track. The driver was assisted by a rescue team from the EPR Litoral Pioneiro dealership.
According to preliminary information provided during the incident, he suffered fractures in both legs. His state of health was initially considered serious.
The accident also involved a Hyundai HB20, which was carrying four people and followed from Carambeí towards Ponta Grossa. One of the occupants reported that the group was traveling on the highway when it came across the Peugeot crossing the track. According to the testimony, it was not possible to avoid the frontal collision between the two cars. The occupant also claimed that at the time of the crash, the Peugeot driver had already been thrown out of the vehicle and was falling to the ground.
The report indicates that the collision between the HB20 and the Peugeot occurred after the rollover.
Among the four occupants of HB20, a 28-year-old woman needed medical attention after presenting bruises. She was routed to a Pronto Atendimento Unit (UPA) in Ponta Grossa.
A man who was also in the vehicle, initially named as the victim's husband, was referred for medical evaluation. According to initial reports, he had apparently minor injuries.
The accident caused a blockage on the highway, causing disruption to the drivers who were heading towards Ponta Grossa. Subsequently, the traffic was partially freed, with vehicles passing through half a lane.
