Overview

• A family-chartered bus collided with a truck on PR-151 in São Mateus do Sul, killing two people and injuring 23, with the highway fully closed until early Monday as emergency teams completed their work.
• Three Brazilian family members died in Condeixa-a-Nova, Portugal, after their Renault Clio was struck head-on by a vehicle traveling the wrong way, according to local fire authorities.
• Police arrested an intoxicated, unlicensed driver in Limeira after a pedestrian couple was struck and severely injured, while other drivers fled crash scenes in cases under investigation in Bahia, Pará and Rio de Janeiro.
• Motorcyclists were among the most vulnerable victims, with multiple fatal crashes reported in Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Pará, including a mototaxi rider killed on PA-150 whose bus driver left the scene.
• Child-safety failures were cited in Paraná, where a father and his 8-year-old daughter died on PR-471 and a 4-year-old, not in a car seat, was ejected and survived; separate collisions triggered major traffic disruptions such as a total blockade on BR-381 near Belo Horizonte.
