On Saturday afternoon (6), two men died in a serious collision on the BR-101, in Balneário Camboriú, on the north coast of Santa Catarina. The accident, which occurred at around 4pm at kilometre 136, involved two motorcycles and a lorry with Rio Negrinho plates.
The exact moment of the collision was recorded by a camera mounted on the truck. The images show the moment when one of the motorcycles hits the back of the truck, followed by the second.
The impact threw one of the motorcyclists, aged 47, into the opposite lane, where he was run over by a GM/Prisma. He died instantly. The other, also 47 years old, was left lying on the road. He was rescued by the military police helicopter and taken to the Marieta Konder Bornhausen Hospital in Itajaí, but died of his injuries.
