São Paulo SUV Goes Airborne Down Stairway as Driver Walks Away With Minor Scratch

The driver attributes the loss of control to a missed blood-pressure dose, a claim not yet supported by official reports.

Overview

  • CCTV video shows the SUV veering off a narrow street in Jardim Apura around 5:30 a.m. Saturday and tumbling down a long flight of stairs in São Paulo.
  • Firefighters extricated 48-year-old Railson Souza from the wreckage and he was taken to a hospital, where scans and X-rays reportedly found no broken bones.
  • Souza told local media he blacked out after forgetting his hypertension medication and said he was neither intoxicated nor racing.
  • Outlets continue to circulate the footage as the clip posted by X user volcaholic1 draws tens of thousands of views.
  • Authorities have not released investigative findings, and several details reported to media rely on the driver's account and have limited independent verification.
