Person killed by train at Harrow & Wealdstone station, England.
NEWS:
A 26-year-old motorcyclist was killed after falling onto the PE-90 highway and being run over by a dump truck in rural Limoeiro, Pernambuco state, northeastern Brazil, on the afternoon of April 23, 2026.
The crash occurred on a stretch of the state highway near the Limoeiro prison.
Video footage records the fatal sequence. The motorcyclist loses control and falls onto the roadway while the dump truck is approaching from behind. The truck reaches him moments later and runs over his body.
The impact leaves the rider motionless on the pavement. The truck continues beyond the camera’s field of view immediately after striking him. The recording does not show whether the vehicle stopped farther along the highway.
The footage confirms that the rider fell before the truck struck him. It does not establish what caused the loss of control, whether another vehicle or road condition contributed to the fall, how much time the truck driver had to react or whether the collision could have been avoided.
Most regional reports identified the victim as Richard Michael de Oliveira Souza, 26. One later article rendered his middle name as Maycon instead of Michael. No publicly accessible official record was located to resolve that spelling discrepancy.
The rider died at the scene before he could be taken to a hospital. His body was removed from the highway and transported to the Forensic Medicine Institute in Caruaru.
Initial accounts described the vehicle that struck him as a truck. Subsequent reporting identified it more specifically as a dump truck traveling along PE-90 when the rider fell into its path.
No verified information was released about the motorcycle’s make, model or condition. Public reports also did not identify the dump truck, its owner or its driver.
Descriptions published with the video said the truck did not stop after the collision. The footage available for publication shows the vehicle continuing out of the recorded area, but it does not show what the driver did after leaving the camera’s view.
No public statement located as of June 9 explained whether the driver contacted police, was interviewed, underwent alcohol testing or was formally investigated for leaving the scene.
The available information also does not establish whether the truck driver saw the fall before the impact. No public technical report provided the truck’s speed, braking distance, lane position or the interval between the rider hitting the pavement and being struck.
The cause of the initial fall remains unresolved in the public record. There is no verified evidence that the motorcycle collided with the truck before the rider went down. The video shows the fall occurring first and the truck striking him afterward.
No publicly accessible inspection report described the condition of the PE-90 surface at the crash site. Authorities did not publicly confirm whether loose material, an obstacle, mechanical failure, excessive speed or rider error contributed to the loss of control.
The later coverage added the victim’s identity and age but did not report a substantive investigative development. No arrest, traffic citation, criminal charge or final police conclusion related to the crash was found in public records reviewed through June 9.
