  • The driver, identified as Vitor, and a Nação 12 member underwent surgery and are in stable condition, while most other passengers were treated and discharged at hospitals in Barra Mansa and Volta Redonda.
  • PRF, fire crews and concessionaire teams responded, with the São Paulo-bound lane closed for rescue and perícia before full reopening around 6:35 p.m., causing roughly 8 km of congestion.
