NEWS:
A 22-year-old driver lost control of a car and slammed into a tree on Avenida Tadao Yoshida in Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil, in a crash recorded on video.
The crash happened on the morning of Saturday, March 14, 2026. The vehicle was traveling along the avenue when the driver lost control and hit a tree. Video from the scene shows the aftermath of the collision and the damaged car near the roadside.
Four people were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash. Early local information said a woman suffered fractures in her foot and was assisted by Samu, Brazil’s mobile emergency medical service. A later account citing a municipal note gave a different version, saying two men and two women were in the car, all had only minor injuries, and the occupants refused medical transport after an initial evaluation by emergency responders.
Samu was called to the scene and provided assistance to the people involved. The available public information does not confirm whether any occupant was later taken to a hospital, and no official medical update was located in the material reviewed.
The cause of the crash was not confirmed in the public record. The initial account said the driver lost control of the vehicle, but no official conclusion was found on speed, mechanical failure, road conditions, distraction, alcohol, or any other contributing factor.
No public record located during review confirmed charges, citations, a police report conclusion, or a later update on the condition of the people in the car. The confirmed facts are that the car hit a tree on Avenida Tadao Yoshida, the driver was 22 years old, four people were in the vehicle, Samu responded, and reports differed on the severity of the injuries.
