IGUATU, CEARÁ, BRAZIL – MAY 19, 2024 On the Demócrito Rocha bridge, a serious traffic accident claimed the life of a cyclist. The victim was identified as Zé Baixinho. He was knocked off his bike by a careless truck driver and subsequently run over. The weight of the truck literally crushed his body, and he died at the scene.
The Demócrito Rocha bridge is known for its narrow lanes, barely wide enough for two cars to pass side by side. It is likely that the truck driver was attempting to pass the cyclist recklessly and made contact with him. However, this information has never been confirmed, as the police have not released the driver’s statement.
