Police Probe Circumstances of JP Mantovani’s Fatal Motorcycle Crash in São Paulo

The inquiry centers on the municipal cleaning truck’s compliance with safety protocols.

Overview

  • JP Mantovani, 46, died shortly before 1 a.m. after his Harley-Davidson collided with a street-cleaning truck on the Marginal Pinheiros near Ponte Cidade Jardim.
  • The case is registered as homicídio culposo at the 14º DP in Pinheiros, with forensic analysis requested and the truck driver testing negative for alcohol.
  • The vehicle, operated by Ecoss Ambiental, was stopped for a brief suction-equipment maintenance procedure, and the driver reported using warning lights during the stop.
  • Investigators are evaluating camera footage and scene evidence as they examine whether Mantovani was struck by another vehicle after he fell and whether the truck’s placement met standards.
  • A restricted wake and burial were held at Cemitério Gethsêmani Anhanguera as his wife, singer Li Martins, asked for privacy during the mourning period.
