Birigui, Brazil

February 19, 2023

João Lucas de Moraes Soleira, 19, couldn't resist his injuries after crashing the motorcycle he was riding into a bus on Avenida Nove de Julho, in Birigui (SP), at the beginning of the night on Sunday (19). According to the police report, he suffered several injuries, including a sunken skull and chest.

According to what was reported to the Civil Police, the collision happened when the young man was trying to flee from a Military Police team, after having been seen riding his Honda XRE-300 motorcycle on a road in Parque das Árvores, a meeting point for young people to maneuver with this type of vehicle.

The police officers who reported the incident said that they were on patrol in Beatriz Calisto Sanches square when they saw the young man riding the XRE motorcycle. The vehicle had its license plate up, making it difficult to identify.

The team reportedly gave the driver a stop sign, but when he realized the presence of the vehicles, he sped up and began to follow them. According to the police, when the young man passed a speed bump on Avenida Profa. Geracina de Menezes Sanches, the motorcycle's license plate fell off.

Soleira allegedly started driving in the opposite direction, putting other people at risk, and lost sight of him as he passed through the Vale do Sol neighborhood.

The policemen said they didn't see the young man as he rode down José Domingos Alonso Street in the opposite direction and crossed Nove de Julho Avenue. Video recorded by a security camera shows two military police officers arriving by motorcycle at the scene shortly after the collision.

The report received photos showing that the motorcycle went in front of the Reunidas bus and ended up underneath the vehicle. One of the bus's windshields was damaged in the collision.

Soleira was attended to at the scene by a rescue team from the Fire Brigade and taken to the municipal emergency room, where he received medical attention. The victim's father confirmed his death at 20.15.
