A hit in Costa Rica on Ponta Grossa left a 57-year-old cyclist injured on Saturday night. The accident involved a tractor truck and a bicycle in the vicinity of the Costa Rican roundabout. The victim was taken care of by the Mobile Emergency Service (Samu) and referred to UPA Uvaranas.
According to the report of the Traffic Superintendence, the occurrence was recorded around 7 p.m. A team of patrulhamento viário, consisting of two agents, was conducting rounds of the Rua Valério Ronchi when it was approached by a resident, who reported the run-in near the roundabout.
The officers immediately followed to the indicated address and found the cyclist fallen near the curb, presenting intense bleeding, visible on the clothes. Faced with the situation, the team started the first care procedures and activated the Samu.
Truck and bicycle involved in accident near bridge
According to information collected by the agents at the scene, the cyclist was traveling along Rua Arichernes Carlos Gobbo when he was hit by a tractor truck over the bridge existing in the region.
The cargo vehicle, a Scania/T112, followed the Sebastião Bastos Municipal Road, in the direction of the Costa Rican roundabout, when the hitch occurred.
The exact circumstances of the accident were not detailed in the report. There is also no information on the dynamics that led to the contact between the truck and the bike.
Cyclist was referred to UPA Uvaranas
After the initial care, the 57-year-old man was referred by the Samu team to the Pronto Atendimento (UPA) Uvaranas Unit.
According to the record of the occurrence, the victim presented a laceration in the left cinnamon. The document does not inform the need for additional procedures nor does it present updates on the cyclist's health status after entering the unit.
The driver of the truck did not need medical attention.
Transit agents controlled the flow of vehicles
During the service of the hitchhiking in Costa Rica, the municipal agents also carried out the signage of the road to ensure the safety of the rescue teams and of the other drivers who passed through the region.
Due to the intense movement of vehicles, it was necessary to implement the traffic control system known as "follow and stop", allowing the alternating passage of cars.
The measure was adopted while the Samu professionals provided care to the victim and carried out the necessary procedures for his referral to the health unit.
The patrulhamento viário team remained on site until the completion of the occurrence bulletin, assisting in the organization of traffic and the safety of the area.
