According to the first findings from the Civil Police of Minas Gerais, the truck appears to have crossed into the opposite lane of the highway, leading directly to the collision with the van. The van was transporting workers who were returning to Ceará.
Investigators said this movement by the truck was a key factor in the crash. Experts reached that conclusion by analyzing evidence at the scene, including tire marks, drag marks, and grooves left on the asphalt.
The case is now being examined further as authorities work to confirm all details of how the accident happened. Even at this early stage, the collision has already been recognized as a devastating event that caused heavy loss of life and serious injuries.
